Honoring The Dead
Not so with someone to politicize the dead--
especially her son:
Seth, 24, was in debt after he graduated from Rutgers University in 2002. He joined the army for money and skills that, he was told, would help land him a job with the CIA or FBI -- his dream jobs. "Not for patriotism," said his mother, Sue Niederer, who is now an anti-war activist.
Congratulations, mudder, you have just called your son a calculating mercenary who went into the military only for money and job experience.
Sheesh, I hope my mother doesn't affront me when eulogizing me. But she's a Marine, so (aside from that) she's got some sense.
