“Who Drop The Bomb?

9. Prime Directive
Regardless of what we discover, we
understand and truly believe that
everyone does the best job they can,
given what they know at the time,
their skills and abilities, the people
and resources available, and the
situation at hand.
At the end of today everyone will know so much more.
Naturally we will discover decisions and actions we wish we
could do over. This is wisdom to be celebrated, not
judgment used to embarrass.
