We had a saying: "what happens TDY, stays TDY." What that means is
we don't need to hear about it. Everything that can possibly happen in
war, including accidents, murder, rape, and mayhem, are best left at the
port of arrival. i.e., we don't care.

Everybody has cute sayings. For example, there's one that goes more or less
that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, and those who are
intellectually uninquisitive are prime candidates to be exposed to history's
unhappy lessons over and over again. IOW, if you don't care, it's at your own
peril. You'll keep on getting your ass kicked until you learn not to bend over
when the kicker's around.
