The day before Thanksgiving, a “thoroughly vetted” military age male, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, decided he had pressing matters to attend to that didn’t involve spending the holiday expressing gratitude to the United States for granting him asylum and giving him an unearned and unprecedented opportunity to build a life here, rather than languish another half century in that squalid dump we call Afghanistan. Rather, he decided that jihad took precedence, and opened fire on two National Guardsmen who were spending their holiday not with family, but on the streets of our own squalid dump we call Washington D.C., in an effort to keep its beleaguered citizens safe.
