I love comments like yours, instead of trying to counter my point, you start insults.

I spent 25 years as an infantry officer, including in combat as a long range reconnaissance platoon leader where a safe room was quite distant and useless in any case. I have spent many hours above the tree line checking instrumentation stations on glaciers and on tundra wind swept vista long before cell phones and GPS. I have crawled through muddy trench lines in the Balkans a few meters away from away from some really mean guy who was trying to kill me. I could go on, but you need to tend to your garden. Some of my warped vision of the world around me was formed when artillery rounds began to explode around me. Truly scaring, but clearly not what you have faced.

Wine and brie during your quiet evening of insomnia is not a world that I understand.
