In summary, a tribute was held for the helicopter troops who were shot down by the Taliban on Saturday. The responsible individuals have been confirmed dead. The pilot was from Kansas City and a message was shared in his honor. The conversation then shifts to the need to bring young people out of war, especially in Asia, and the importance of having clear objectives before starting any war. A photo of the fallen troops goes viral and touches many lives. Rest in peace to the Navy Seals, seal dog, and support troops. Profiles of the Seals can be found in the attached link.

No sense of closure for me. We need to get our young people out of there.

Never start a land war in Asia. And never start ANY war without clear objectives, even if it can be made to be seemed justified. The loss of money pales in comparison to the loss of US spirit and talent in this slog, IMO.
