I was agreeing with your article until the first sentence of the final full paragraph where you say only "our young sons." What about the young daughters - do they not count?

Thanks for reading & commenting! We were speaking personally in that moment as we each have a son. We would include all girls in this; we just don't have daughters. -Brian

Thanks for a very informative and insightful article about this “Blitz” and its predecessors. As usual, you are right on the mark. One question: perhaps I’ve missed something but do you really want to say only “our young sons” in the first sentence of the final full paragraph? It doesn’t sound like the you I’ve come to appreciate and depend on so much.

Perhaps if I had read more carefully, I would have made that connection, but I didn’t and I was hoping to spare you criticism for something I don’t think you meant to be saying. Thanks for all the insightful analysis you two are doing. Keep up the good work!!!
