I wasn’t prepared for this CBC interview, so the conversation really made me reflect. How do you think about the importance of kindness in your life? Especially at this time of year and in history. Might be worth 15 minutes of your time.

"I ordered the first murdering, but not the second murdering of the people I ordered murdered. The murdering of the survivors who refused to be murdered was totally ordered by Admiral Bradley who is a hero who I don't know if the second murdering turns out to be a war crime."
