RUSH: This is Debbie in Indianapolis, named after Indians, and it's the
headquarters of the NCAA. Welcome to the program.
CALLER: Hey, Rush we come from a super mega dittos household. When my
13-year-old was born she said ditto before she could say mom.
RUSH: (Laughing.) I'm not surprised. The future of America.
CALLER: Absolutely. I'm a MOM, which stands for, "Mother of a Marine",
and I'm looking for a bumper sticker that says, "Your son got an A in
college; my son got a Purple Heart in Iraq." His vehicle ran over a land
mine twice in one day. We always talk about "if" something would
happen to my son, I would never dishonor him. I'm sorry. I'm getting emotional
in this. I would never dishonor his actions by doing what this woman is doing.
My son volunteered to join the Marines. When he was 18 years, one month, and ten
days old on September 12th he announced that he was joining the Marines after he
saw the Twin Towers fall. When his first orders to Iraq were canceled he told us
that, "Bush better not pull out before I get there." He knew it was
something that needed to be done. He's going back for his second tour next
month. What she's doing is not only dishonoring her son, she's dishonoring
mine.
RUSH: Debbie, I can't thank you enough for calling, and I can't thank you enough
for doing another thing. You have just spoken for the vast majority of Americans
in your call. You have just echoed exactly what they think. God bless you.
Thanks so much for your call.
CALLER: I hope so. Thank you.
RUSH: You have, trust me on this. You are far more a voice, a representative
voice of the people of this country than any of the rabble rousing malcontents
that are being given airtime in a failed attempt to destroy the policy by the
mainstream press. Trust me.
CALLER: It hurts me that she's sending the message that it seems like her son
died for nothing. He didn't die for nothing. He died in the United States Armed
Forces. There's nothing more honorable than that. These kids volunteered. They
were not yanked from their cradle by an evil government to send them someplace
they didn't want to go. My son knew on September 12th he was going over. My son
knew what was in store for him, and my son stepped up to the plate. The caller
you had on Monday, he was talking about, "Gee, how come these senators'
kids aren't volunteering if the war is so great?" We're not going to talk
about if the war is so great, let's talk about these kids who are great who
stepped up to the plate and said, "You know what, I need to do something
about this. There's something bigger than me out there."
RUSH: Debbie, exactly right. Debbie, thank you again. You just heard it, Debbie
in Indianapolis, the voice of this country.

Some respect is needed for our heros. Lets start by getting them leaders that
also respect their sacrifices and don't ask them to keep on dying because our
leaders are too afraid to say that they made a mistake.
