5. Here, I'll explain this to you. Two scenarios
Scenario one: A grieving mother is dressed in black, sobbing. An army officer walks up to her with a flag folded into a triangle, hands it to her and says, "I'm sorry for your loss, Mrs. Garza. Your son was a hero, serving his country in the war in Iraq. You should be proud of him."
. . . . Mrs. Garza sniffles a little, thanks the officer doing the job Bush is scared to do, and accepts the flag.

Scenario two: A grieving mother is dressed in black, sobbing. An army officer walks up to her with a flag folded into a triangle, hands it to her and says, "I'm sorry for your loss, Mrs. Smith. Your son was a hero, serving his country in the occupation of Iraq. You should be proud of him."

Now, do you think Mrs Smith is going to have the same reaction?
