It’s always interesting how you consistently manage to take something that would normally demand real facts and careful sourcing of valid information and turn it into a kind of free-form thought experiment built on “can this be true” and “how would you feel if you were Commander Tate.” You move from a claim about missiles hitting a school, to sympathy for a naval officer, to a reference to The Caine Mutiny, all without ever establishing what actually happened in the first place. But never mind the facts, right? One almost gets the sense the real topic isn’t the event at all, but the act of speculating about it from every possible angle without needing anything solid to anchor it. By the end, it’s less about understanding reality and more about watching a narrative assemble itself out of assumption, hearsay, conspiracy, emotion, confusion, delusion, adrenaline, magic mushrooms, and whatever happens to come to mind next.
