Khizr khan a Gold star father god when he is describing the last phone call with his son. Captain Humayun khan KIA IRAQ 6/8/04.
Describing his son said saying Im responsible for my men all will be well. Where do find such fine young men.

(92,189 posts)The country ignored trump's slurs and deplorable slurs against our soldiers in 2016, and I would like to think things are different since 2016, but I remain skeptical
After 2016 I do not have very nice things to say about our country

(32,762 posts)Draft Dodger Don disparage our brave men and women who serve in our military to protect all of us is disheartening to say the least. It is hard to imagine a more despicable incompetent heartless leader of our country. That said hopefully come November we will have a new president elected who will take us in the right direction and this will all become a dim memory over time.

(2,336 posts)I have overblown empathy and this is just about killing me.
I have a weird physical response where if I see an injury, such as those videos that are "funny" of people riding bikes and falling or smashing themselves, I feel a jolt of pain, usually in my arms, but it's not fun. I attribute it to highly overblown empathy. It's as if I feel their pain. I know sounds ridiculous, but it's a thing for me.
The first time it happened I was watching my son when he was small, and don't recall what happened but I felt it. I've felt it ever since.
So all this talk of death and suffering -- I just feel so horrible for these people. It's rough, but nothing like actually experiencing it, so I'll keep watching and feeling for those suffering. I'm tearing up now just writing this. We will survive.
