Was it anywhere near as bad as this?

Corpsman Maxton "Max" W. Soviak played football at Edison High School before graduating in 2017.

maybe happened," Jim Hall, head football coach at Edison, told CBS Cleveland, Ohio, affiliate WOIO-TV.

"It didn't seem real," Hall said. "It still really doesn't you know great kid, loved life. He was bright, bright kid, and it 
doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem fair you know I just hope the best for his family."

Soviak joined the Navy after high school graduation.

"He just loved life," Edison High School superintendent Thomas Roth told WOIO-TV. "He was out there and enjoyed things and he was 
helpful for others as I think we all can see from what happened yesterday you know he was always there to help other people. He 
wanted to be of service and that's what he did."

Sergeant Darin Hoover Jr. was on his third tour of duty, his father Darin Hoover Sr. told Salt Lake City CBS affiliate KUTV.

"He led his men, and they followed him, but I know in my heart of hearts he was out front," Hoover Sr. said. "They [his fellow 
Marines] would follow him through the gates of hell if that's what it took."

He said the 9/11 terrorist attacks moved his son, who was a child at the time, to vow he'd serve in the military. "He decided, 
"That's what I want to do,"" Hoover Sr. told KUTV.

Hoover Jr.,31, was based at Camp Pendleton in California.

"(He was the) best kid in the world," his father said. "Couldn't ask for any better."

Sergeant Johanny Rosario Pichardo was screening women and children at the Abbey gate when the attack took place, according to 
Marine First Lieutenant John "Jack" Coppola. He told CBS News in an email that Pichardo, a supply chief from the 5th Marine 
Expeditionary Brigade, was a member of the brigade's Female Engagement Team (FET). FETs, he said, are "volunteer teams of female 
Marines with the experience and maturity necessary to enable continuity of operations while respecting cultural norms."

Coppola said Pichardo's service "was not only crucial to evacuating thousands of women and children, but epitomizes what it means 
to be a Marine: putting herself in danger for the protection of American values so that others might enjoy them." 

Pichardo is a Lawrence High School graduate and former Bridgewater State University student. She is survived by her mother and 
sister, CBS Boston reports, and will be laid to rest in Lawrence, where her family lives.

"It was her family's wish that Rosario is remembered and honored as a hero," Lawrence Mayor Kendrys Vasquez said Saturday. 
Bridgewater State University also released a statement saying the "community is struck with profound grief upon learning of the 
death of one of our own" even though Rosario only attended for a semester before committing herself to the Marines.



Marine Corps Sergeant Nicole L. Gee,23, of Sacramento, California

days before her death. On August 21, Gee posted a photo of herself holding an Afghan child on Instagram. "I love my job," the 23-
year-old Sacramento native wrote.

Gee was sworn into the Marines less than a year ago and was promoted to sergeant three weeks before the Kabul attack, according 
to posts on her Instagram account.

Gee was married to a fellow Marine, Jarod Gee, her sister Misty Fuoco said. Nicole posted several Instagram photos of her and her 
husband celebrating the holidays and celebrating his own promotion to sergeant just a few months ago.

and "spending time outdoors with his dad," the statement said. He loved the Chicago Blackhawks.

Marines. He remembered Sanchez as "a bright, athletic young man who was popular, well-liked by his soccer teammates, classmates, 
coaches, and teachers."

Logansport Mayor Chris Martin mourned Sanchez's death in a Facebook post Friday. 

"This young man had not yet even turned 30 and still had his entire life ahead of him," Martin wrote. "Any plans he may have had 
for his post-military life were given in sacrifice due to the heart he exhibited in putting himself into harm's way to safeguard 
the lives of others."

Indiana Congressman Jim Baird posted his condolences on Facebook, too, saying, "He bravely answered the call to serve his nation, 
and I am both proud of his service and deeply saddened by his loss."

been stationed in Jordan, and when the situation deteriorated in Afghanistan during the U.S. withdrawal, he was one of the 
thousands of U.S. troops deployed to Kabul.

Mark Schmitz's voice broke as he told KMOX, "I'm very honored that I could call him my son - his life meant so much more. I'm so

Marine Corps Lance Corporal Kareem M. Nikoui,20, of Norco, California



Kareem M. Nikoui attended Norco High School in 2019 and served in JROTC, CBS Los Angeles reports.

"Just a good kid. Really had a strong energy about him and knew what he wanted to do," Norco High School principal Robert 
Ibbetson said. "It was neat to see that kind of direction and drive and goal-setting."

He is survived by his mother, father and siblings, the City of Norco confirmed Friday night.

The bombing happened at Kabul airport's Abbey Gate hours after the U.S. Embassy in Kabul warned Americans to stay away from the 
airport due to "security threats." A defense official told CBS News on Friday that the suicide bomb is estimated to have 
contained 25 pounds of high explosives. An average suicide vest contains just 5-10 pounds. The vest also had shrapnel to increase 
its deadly effects. ISIS-K later claimed responsibility.

Speaking after the attack, President Biden vowed retribution, saying, "We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you 
down, and make you pay." Soon after Mr. Biden's address, the White House announced flags would be flown at half staff through 
Monday.

The U.S. announced Friday night it launched a drone strike in northern Afghanistan, killing two ISIS-K members. It was not clear 
whether the members were involved in the bombing.

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul continues to encourage people to avoid the Kabul airport.

"Because of security threats at the Kabul airport, we continue to advise U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to 
avoid airport gates," the embassy wrote on its website Friday night. "U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey gate, East gate, North 
gate or the New Ministry of Interior gate now should leave immediately."

It wasn't immediately clear what intelligence prompted the advisory, but earlier Friday, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby and 
Army Major General William Taylor, joint staff deputy director for regional operations, cautioned that the U.S. expects more 
attack attempts.

Kabul's airport has been overrun with people desperate to flee Afghanistan since the Taliban took control of the country. Since 
August 14, the U.S. has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 105,000 people, according to the White House. 
The U.S. is scheduled to complete its withdrawal from Afghanistan Tuesday.

The Defense Department said the bombing remains under investigation.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
