How dire is the situation right now from your vantage point? Right now, we’re at a critical inflection point. We’re in a pandemic, but we don’t yet have our hospital inundated with patients. We have a lot of recommendations going out there in an attempt to “flatten the curve” through aggressive social distancing measures (các biện pháp cách ly xã hội quyết liệt).

Snodgrass, a former Navy fighter pilot who worked in Mattis’s office from the spring of 2017 until the summer of 2018, has stepped forward to fill some of the vacuum created by Mattis’s silence.

The enemy was seen retreating and all the threats of the commandos did not help. Aftab picked up the light machine gun in his hand, got out from the trench, kept advancing and came to the edge of the high ground. He was still causing heavy casualties on the fleeing enemy. It appeared his only mission was to destroy the enemy and he did not care to save his own life. He exposed himself to the enemy by going forward and firing on them from a vantage ground. Suddenly a burst of bullet hit Aftab's chest and he shouted, “I have been hit”, and fell to the ground.
