I just got an e-mail from my son that he and his unit landed in Iraq yesterday. Absent a cut-off in funding, he'll be there for a year. I ask for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of him and all the other young men and women from all the different factions who are the pawns of these miserable old men and their delusions.

If you'll re-read the father's message, illiterate, you'll see that he doesn't single out the U.S. military. He says "all the different factions". I read that as "you need to work on your reading comprehension, and this poor guy is justifiably worried and heartsick about the safety of his son, so why don't you have some compassion and back off?"
