My thoughts are with their families, with the service member who remains missing, and with all those injured during the strike. His criticism was directed not at the troops, but at the civilian leadership responsible for defining the mission, establishing the strategy, and honestly describing the results. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, guardians, and coasties execute lawful orders issued by civilian leaders. For the rest of us, holding civilian leaders accountable for those responsibilities is our way of honoring those in uniform. We owe our civilian leaders rigorous oversight, honest debate, and accountability for their actions and the missions they assign.
