Newshour with Jim Lehrer interview; Homefront Battles Our first media interview speaking out as military family, Lietta and Arthur Ruger, on Newshour with Jim Lehrer, Homefront Battles; aired Oct 04.
Focus of this Newshour piece was the new phenomenom of military families speaking out publicly.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS - "We're seeing something that really is unusual because military families in history have been pretty much inclined not to do this sort of thing.
It's in a way sort of part of that culture.
And the fact that they are doing it now shows how deeply many of them feel about the fact that they were never convinced at the beginning of this war that it was the right thing to do."
Below is a list of Lietta's other thirty plus military family speaking out media covered interviews that came after the Newshour piece.

I was watching this at a friend's house last night, so didn't get the full impact until this morning when I went to the MSNBC website and watched it again. Can you believe this? How can anyone in their right mind justify this? sorry, I realize, those in charge or this war are not playing with a full deck.
Hope you are well.
