Monday, August 15, 2005 Warrior Psychology 101
I have often read and heard the cliché that says, “The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars.” This quote is attributed to General Douglas MacArthur who was clearly a man acquainted with war and its consequences. In my experience a more apt quote that summarizes the thoughts of the warriors that I have served with would be this one by Thomas Paine, “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” Better still is this scripture that the Nightstalkers are known to quote from time to time, Isaiah 6:88 (http://bible.cc/isaiah/6-8.htm) “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”

For that reason, I believe that his mother’s very public effort to steal his honor is one of the most despicable acts that can be perpetrated by a family member of the fallen. Nothing would bring me greater shame than to know that my own mother was using the willful sacrifice of my very life as an opportunity to garner public attention for the belief that my life was wasted. I am utterly disgusted by a woman, her loss notwithstanding that would allow her son’s enemies and those of the Nation he died to defend to profit from his death. Her self centered actions have created what amounts to a pack of hungry hyenas fighting over the corpse of her fallen son. The honor and respect that Casey is entitled to is being torn apart by the likes of MoveOn.org, Michael Moore, Code Pink, the and the Mainstream media anti war establishmentfor the whole world to see.
