3. I am a Navy retiree who knows the region well. That's not a war zone.

Bahrain is where the poor bastards working in Anbar would love to go for liberty. In Bahrain, everyone has a maid. The living is EASY in Bahrain.

And Dubai is a playground for the very rich. It isn't a war zone at all.

The poor Sailor died in a taxi wreck. All deaths are sad, and I am sure her family is devastated, but it's a wreck that could have happened in Dallas, TX just as easily as it happened in trendy Dubai.
