| Description | Jack Collins says President Bush was wrong to go to war in Iraq. Some would say that makes him unpatriotic. You tell me.
Jonathan was the 928th U.S. service member killed in Iraq.
But as much as Jack and Angel stood by their son and every other American soldier in Iraq, working with other families to send food and gifts, they have never believed in this war.
"We believe we can separate the politics from what's going on there, from what our soldiers are being asked to do," Jack said. "I agreed with why we went to Afghanistan. I think we needed to. But we misread what was going to happen in Iraq."
But what do you say, I asked Jack, to those who think we must rally around the president?
"The last time I looked, our right as United States citizens is to question our leaders," Jack said. "That is what my son died for us to do. We shouldn't just blindly follow along." |
