Now his three children are left without their father which is negligent on his part. He took a risk and half succeeded and at least saved the Afghan girl who will 95% likely grow up in a burqa anyway. God will judge his sacrifice better than I can

What you say is true, but the reason why good men die like this is that they know no other way of living.

The girls situation is not pertinent, if it was, we would simply nuke everything and everyone who hates us or is probably likley to do so at some point.

Now, it is up to us, as Americans, to insure such sacrifice is not lost on those of his left behind.

We do this through the VA, SGLI, retirement benefits (he lived long enough to likely be retired on Active Duty at 100% pay for his rank/seniority through medical protocols) and by insuring our elected servants (some sarc, I guess) do right by those who serve and suffer loss.

God, indeed will see this sacrifice as a noble event. I hope the Warrior is enlisted in the Saviors Army as well.

May God richly bless those who are willing to risk all for someone else, even if they are never asked....

Correct—God will judge his act and reward him on Judgement Day-—God loves all children whether some of us believe or not-—I grieve for his wife and children but “he will always be young, a hero and a shining example to his children as they grow up——but, the loss will be hard for his wife for a long time-—May the Lord Bless and keep them safe and hold them in His Loving Arms
