This Much Madness

I read the news today, oh boy. 

The Department of Defense on Saturday identified the 13 members of the U.S. military who were killed in the attack on the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Thursday as they worked to evacuate people to safety.

They hailed from across the country — from California to Wyoming to Tennessee — and had an average age of just over 22. Eleven were Marines, one was a Navy medic and another was a member of the Army. Two of the Marines were women.

Sometimes the sadness of the ending overshadows the hubris that led to the sad ending.

But not in this case. Rest in Power.
