Yes, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t want the job.

I dont know why anyone wants the job. Either LOVE or HATRED of country, really.

Or power, I guess.

I knew a kid maybe 30 years ago in my late teens whose father had died in a car accident.

He kept asking everyone where he could get a lot of Xanax. I kept thinking of telling his mother but I didn’t.

So he OD’s on Xanax and booze a few weeks later.

VERY VERY INDIRECTLY my fault and it haunted me for years.

Imagine THOUSANDS of people dying as a direct result of your orders.

I couldn’t.

Oh, dp, how sad. I can feel your guilt.

One friend was very upset that two of her besties (me and another girl) got into a college and she did not. She attempted to take her life. We felt terribly guilty too. Heavy burden on young people whose instinct is always to blame themselves.

Thousands of officers and airmen of the Army Air Forces didn't have to imagine it.
