The genuine appreciation for the value of men’s lives in the highest levels of US government is rapidly approaching zero. I give you a quote from Hillary Clinton in 1998: “Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat.” This is yet another example of the fact that so many women measure the value of men only in terms of men’s value to women. Hillary’s perspective totally lacks any regard for the inherent value of a man’s life as a long, fulfilling and healthy existence on this Earth. How can anyone begin to compare the loss of life of an 18 year old young man to the grief of those who knew him? Her callousness toward men regarding combat death extends to the failure to recognize there are fathers and brothers who grieve too. All of us must call out this callousness in every instance we see it.
