Army Maj. Brent Taylor knew the only way to train Afghan forces to take over their own security was by forming real relationships with them. Tragically, in November 2018, he was killed by one of the men he was training who had been radicalized. Maj. Taylor was just 39 years old.

“His great leadership capacity–his commitment and love for these people—is really what cost him his life,” his widow, Jennie Taylor, said.
