I think of those two brave Navy Seals who apparently drowned while fighting for us against Rebels/pirates/smugglers and wonder if their mission included outfitting them in such heavy ways that no emergency flotation was possible to save them? I don’t know details of course but am grateful for their service and sad at their loss.
Lots of people have suffered and died so the war mongers could line their pockets. When it’s necessary to fight a war, it should be done with a massive overwhelming force so it is over quickly and there is no doubt as to who won. That is somehow not how things are done these days.
