Just What I Needed.

Something to just piss me the fuck off on this, of all weekends.

So the American Gold Star Mothers Inc. rejects a woman whose son died in combat because she's not a U.S. citizen. The organization's justification for this? "There's nothing we can do because that's what our organization says: You have to be an American citizen," national President Ann Herd said Thursday. "We can't go changing the rules every time the wind blows."

"Every time the wind blows?" Give me a f'kin break. Here we have a woman who played by the rules - she went thru the months and months of bureaucratic bullshit, not to mention the hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, to become a legal resident of this country. And this is what she gets?

I wasn't aware that, had my own son served and been killed, my wife of 31 years wouldn't be able to join either, since she's also a Green Card holder. Hell, Boy Wonder holds 3 citizenships - they most likely would deny that he served.

Just when was the last time this organization changed its rules? Was the wind blowing then?

We are being beat to death with "diversity" and "multicultural" and how we're supposed to be "inclusive." It's about damn time that this org. wake up and realize that, if her son can give his life and be buried in a military cemetary with full honors, then his mother is a Gold Star Mother whether they like it or not.

Oooohh - I'm pissed!
