The woman's sons are in Iraq, surviving. Cindy and many others are fighting to help them over here. There is broad consensus that it was domestic political pressure that forced the US to get out of Vietnam.  Even when it didn't sufficiently distinguish between the solders, who were among the first victims of an evil policy, and the policymakers, the US peace movement did not weaken US forces in Indochina.  We owe it to the troops to force the policy makers to be accountable, and to stop letting soldiers die just to avoid admitting a mistake.  

The leaders must be accountable to the people, and in the end, the people must be accountable to the soldiers. We must assure them that we will not allow their lives and morals to be squandered in some oil-brat's election scheme.
