re: #300 A Mom Anon

I saw this earlier today. Heartbreaking and angering. I do not get why the husband in this case wanted to do this trip. North and South America are full of lovely places to camp and hike. It makes no sense. The wife’s dad is PISSED. I just hope she gets the help she’s going to need. Support, therapy, encouragement and love. Not to mention time. And those poor kids. I feel for the husband, he didn’t plan for this, but I still don’t get his reasoning. I just hope they all recover and can move forward at some point.

I heard about it on the radio in the truck the other day, and that was my first question to my wife - who the hell takes his pregnant wife hiking in fuckin’ Afghanistan?

Geez, pick a friendly country in that area.
