So children don't need their daddies, huh?

One look at this will tell you otherwise.

"A family photo that shows a little girl beside her father and his fellow soldiers in uniform as they prepare to go to war has resonated well beyond the tight knit Bennethum clan.

Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn't want her daddy to go to Iraq.

So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn't let go.

No one had the heart to pull her away."

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy got in trouble too. Or at least was berated with, "learn how to raise your kid!!", etc.

you know how the media will use this, don't you? As an anti-war message, not a pro-fatherhood message. Get a grip.
