US servicemen prevented
a massacre on a train |
In only a few days we have heard of several men who were killed while fighting wildfires in the Pacific Northwest, and of three unarmed US servicemen who prevented a massacre by a Muslim terrorist on a Paris-bound train.
What they have in common is that they are men, and only doing what is expected of them: become heroes when other lives are at risk.
The feminist culture that pervades the media, universities, and our society in general, continues to denigrate men - oblivious to their human rights, their heroic nature, and their dignity.

Three firefighters give up their lives
fighting wildfires in Washington state.
The three young firefighters killed in the Washington state wildfires this week have all been identified as crews continue to battle the flurry of flames raging across the Pacific Northwest.
Tom Zbyszewski, 20, Andrew Zajac, 26, and Richard Wheeler, 31, died Wednesday after their vehicle crashed and was overtaken by flames near the town of Twisp. Four other firefighters nearby were injured, one critically.
All three were members of an engine crew from Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in central Washington, NBC News reported.
They were members of an elite crew that scoped out the size of a wildfire before other firefighters were sent in. Following an investigation, their bodies were removed Thursday, as their fellow firefighters stood by in silence with their helmets over their hearts.

The Twisp blaze is just one of more than 70 large wildfires or clusters of fires in several drought-stricken Western states, the bulk of them in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California and Montana.
