No offense but if you use the death of a family member to further your political agenda (be it right-wing or left-wing, pro-war or anti-war), than yes, you are "whoring off" your son or daughter's death and I would be equally disgusted if a pro-war right-winger were to use the death of a son or daughter to further his/her political ideology. However, I wouldn't really say that Cindy sold out for politics considering she was anti-war before her son died and didn't support Casey's decision to join the military anyway. And it's pretty damn obvious that her son wouldn't have supported his mother's cause considering he decided to re-enlist in the army after he served his time.
