Eric is a hero.

This 44 year old man left his wife and three young children to take one of the most dangerous jobs on Earth in the most dangerous place on Earth at the most dangerous time possible. For a big paycheck and adventure.

Let's save are hero worship for the heroes already. His responsibility as a righteous man was to his FAMILY. Period.

No amount of money would be worth that risk to my family's well being. No "pretend I'm a young stud again" adventure can justify that assignment, in that place at this time.

He left a woman and three children under the age of 11 suddenly, needlessly, without her husband and their father.

Sorry, I'm pissed off. For those kids and that family. It's unconscionable. Yeah, I know, I'm blowing up a thread again.

Hey, sorry to say I don't recognize your name. I can get what you're thinking somewhat. I don't understand why husbands and wives join the military and serve at the same time and leave the childrens' care to others.

It's too sad.

I bring this up because I really don't understand it.
