Our nation needs more men – and fathers – like Robert Derga
This Washington Times piece makes one wonder about the anti-war left and what their response would be concerning men like Robert Derga.
Derga lost his son, Marine Cpl. Dustin A. Derga, in Iraq. While meeting with the president, the bereaved father gave Bush a pin that he had used to write letters to his son. Derga hoped the president would use the pin when vetoing the Democrats reckless bill that would establish a timetable for withdrawal. To Derga’s surprise, Bush did indeed use the pin. Strongly believing that we need to finish the job in Iraq and do it right, Derga said “we have given the ultimate sacrifice in terms of our sons and if we can still stand in the trenches with the president and support him, why can’t the rest of the nation do it?”
An excellent question. I think the answer is their utter blindness to reality. But who can say? One wonders if liberal “reasoning” can ever be understood or explained.
Remember Robert Derga – and all those who have lost family in the war – in your thoughts and prayers.
