Loathe as we are to take the bait on White House efforts to distract from the horrors of the Afghanistan crisis it created, U.S. Army Capt. Erin Brymer’s story is just too good not to share.

Three children have been born to Afghan refugees lucky enough to escape the region over the past few weeks. Two were born in German hospitals shortly after the refugees arrived. But one was born on a U.S. military plane just moments after it landed. The White House is referring to these three as the Afghanistan “baby count.”
