Gen, Dempsey let his mouth overrun his brain and this heartbroken mother calls him out on it.

Lee was unhappy with those words, writing, "My son and many others gave their future in Ramadi. Ramadi mattered to them. Many military analysts say that as goes Ramadi so goes Iraq."

In addition to the American service members who died in Ramadi, many others lost limbs or suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their service there, Lee said. Others watched their team members die.

"You sir owe an apology to the families whose loved ones blood was shed in Ramadi," she wrote. "Ramadi matters to us and is very symbolic to us. You need to apologize to our troops whose bodies were blown to pieces from IEDs and bullet holes leaving parts and pieces behind, Ramadi matters to them.

This illustrates what some of our officers today are. I remember, during the battle for Ramadi, that one Admiral got a Silver Star for his courageous leadership of the battle. The closest he got to the fighting was 900 miles. As a veteran, I abhor the cheapening of our commendations.

This isn't the first time the mother of a dead soldier has learned the truth and been upset by it.


Undoubtedly some apology will be forthcoming and unfortunately it won't change the truth.

Every time Loser Lucky hears of another dead American service member he giggles and takes another toke.

Dempsey is just another political officer...
