Summary

Hawk opens by remembering the four US service members killed in the Iran war over the weekend, whose remains arrived at Dover Air Force Base today. He names them, including 19-year-old Isabella Gonzalez and a father whose children are four and six, and then sits with the hardest part honestly: people need a death like that to mean something, and he does not believe this war provides that meaning. His heart goes out to the families, and he is careful to separate the service from the policy that spent it.
