Deadliest day for the U.S.: Taliban kill 31 Americans in helicopter crash

I know less than you, Lish, about who we are. What I try to take into conversations is what I feel for the victims of their circumstances. Young men should never have to die for reasons that aren't necessarily their own. These corpses probably felt pretty cocky before they were blown out of the sky. Those who did it probably feel pretty cocky still. Neither "side" had any good reason to be in each other's vicinity, did they? Well, at least the guys in the helicopter didn't.
Respecting authority, for me, includes being able to respect the ways they apply their intelligence. I have faith you'll teach your son nothing wrong.
