Who takes their children on a summer trip to a war zone? Especially when they live next door to Disneyland.

They are themselves refugees from Afghanistan and went back earlier in the summer to visit extended family that still live there. Maybe if you read something other than The Blaze...

"All six families are part of a larger community of refugees from Afghanistan who settled in El Cajon in recent years, including a few hundred young Afghan immigrants among the 17,000 students enrolled in Cajon Valley schools, Serban said.
A large portion of the school district's student body also consists of immigrants from Iraq, Syria and various Latin American countries - a major factor in the establishment of the district's FACE program, he said.
Serban said it was not unusual for members of those communities, including Afghan immigrants, to venture back to their homelands "when they feel it's safe to go" for summer vacations with family still living in their native countries."
It wasn't some over privileged Karens on some weird trip. They went to see family. They didn't realize the situation would escalate like it did. You know how quickly I found articles about this? Like five seconds in Google. Smh.
