The disaster playing out in Afghanistan reminds many of Vietnam, but my mind was reminded of the 444 days of captivity of the US Embassy personnel in Iran in the late 1970s.

With a lot of summer activities — including grass cutting — still in full swing, and plenty of warm days and nights still on the agenda, it’s doubtful that any thoughts of hunting have even begun to enter our minds-me included.
