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....
God will judge him favorably but on the human level his wife and children are deprived of a father. But maybe somehow this all works out to the good
How does his surviving family feel to be left alone all to save an Afghanistani girl who will end up in a burqa anyway? Someways they will be angry at him. It would be easier to take if he died saving one of his fellow National Guardsmen
