I'm one of the current generation of vets (I'm actually in Iraq right now on tour number 2).
I find her little story pretty odd....
Her son is deploying to Iraq on september 11th? I dont think there is a troop rotaion at that time. I could be wrong and all, but I think it maybe another little lie, some jingoistic story telling, I'll give them that.
Well, maybe her son deploying to Baghdad on 9-11 will really remind us all....of How we were attacked on that day.....by NOT IRAQ!!!!

(ps. The Iraqi terp I was watching clips of the Democratic convention with, says "Obama will be good president, I like him much, but not the old guy.".....)
