Rest and respite: I used to think that rest was a dirty four-letter word. Now I realize it is an essential part of health after a decade of only “needing “ 4 hours of sleep per night, afraid I would miss something.

Will this group of decision-makers get away with blaming it on the previous administration? So very sad for the people of this exotic and ancient country and for our military who lost so much there.
