HORRIFIC INJURIES NOT ENOUGH

Leisa Fudge's son Paul Bublis suffered terrible injuries (link requires registration) and lost some of his friends to an IED attack in Iraq:

Bublis' injuries included two skull fractures - at one point requiring that doctors cut into his skull to relieve pressure - and third-degree burns to 26 percent of his body. That included burns to his nose, back, arms, legs and lungs.

He would later learn of casualties.

"He lost three of his guys in that bombing," Fudge said.

Now recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Bublis has undergone several skin grafts and came close to losing his right leg. Still, his recovery has gone more quickly than expected, Fudge said. That really shows in a recent procedure to place a ceramic plate in his head to close up the skull wounds.

Despite what her son has gone through, Fudge still supports the war in Iraq and doesn't think much of "Mother" Sheehan's attention seeking grandstanding:"

I sympathize with her because no one should have to lose a child," Fudge said.

The protest shows a lack of respect, Fudge said.

"I think she's doing such a disgrace to her son's memory," Fudge said.

The loons at Democratic Underground think Fudge should just shut the fuck up:

This woman is clearly a clueless bot. She is the one dishonoring her own son - for continuing to support a war that disfigured and nearly killed him.

So much for the left's support of free speech and sacrifice for others.
