All the male members of my mother's side of the family were in multiple branches, too. That includes her father, her step-father, and her 2 brothers.
In short, I could sit here and list over 70 people in my blood family in the military.

Another straw man argument--if you can't do better than this, don't expect a reply in the future. For the record, the subject group was FAMILIES OF SERVICE MEMBERS KILLED IN IRAQ, NOT JUST MILITARY MEMBERS.
And, just so we're clear, I was IN the military, so even if your argument were valid, if we're going on numbers, I know hundreds of present and former military members.
But again, numbers weren't the point. The POINT was that SOME families of deceased servicemen don't appreciate photos of their loved one posted on Michael Moore's website to promote his warped opinions.

Well, how about that! We're neighbors!
I live in Coronado, California. Say the word, and I'll set up a meeting with the Rear Admiral in charge of the Naval Special Warfare School. He's the one I mentioned earlier.
I'll let you explain to him your opinion that it's not improper for Michael Moore to misuse their loved ones' photos. Don't forget--he travels to the family members to give them the bad news. He also takes it very personally when one of his teammates dies.
Better yet, let's have dinner at McP's, the local SEAL bar. I'll make sure your opinions are distributed widely throughout the establishment.

Yeah, I'd heard Wal-Mart's receipts are up.
