Tell your daughter Thanks!!! We need good people to protect us around the world. This deal in Boston should bring home to people that we are no way near safe in this world. There are many that would love for us to fall.
Also it is a good thing that your daughter and her husband got to spend some time together. I think the service is worse about that today than years ago. There are fewer soldiers so they get rotated back faster for longer tours.
I was in Vietnam for three and half years. I usually got 4-6 weeks each year to be home with the family. I could usually plan when I would get home too. Today it seems that the service is all top down driven. Those that lead do not listen very well to those that serve.
I will say this. Current leaders ruined any chance of success in Afghanistan by announcing we where leaving in X amount of time.
This "War/battle" with the Muslims is going to last a long time. It has its roots in the Crusades that started in 1095. So we are close to being at this for a thousand years. So some egg head in the White house is not going to solve this with a few speeches and some "royal" dictates. We have wasted anything good that might have come out of Afghanistan.
So I say just bring everyone home today. Let them fight it out among themselves. Then tell them that if even one hair of a US citizen is hurt we will level the whole country and MEAN IT!!! The peace that we had ,here in the USA, in the past was because of a knowledge of what would happen if we where harmed.
I remember being in Japan in the late 1960s. There looks of hate still but you could just about walk anywhere in uniform because the locals knew it they messed with one of us the MPs would destroy the whole neighborhood. Was it the PC correct way?? Heck NO, but it is the only way that will work.
So you tell that SIL to be safe and give that daughter a hug from this old man.
