Particularly when it is his own own fault.
When you are the engineer of your own destiny you want the truth. You want to hear the words no matter what. Even though your gunner is painted all over the inside of the cabin. Even though your aircraft is full of holes and his own body is riddled by lead. These facts are of little consequence if you don't hear the truth from somebody else. You're not looking to attribute blame; even to yourself.
Sure, you might be flying a dud aircraft and ordered to fly dud tactics. Sure you may have even been allotted a gunner who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Or even, and it does happen, the enemy outwitted you. Don't worry. Don't panic. These things happen.
More importantly those things don't matter.
Time to square the jaw and bare the teeth. Be prepared to pay the price and get ready to be covered.
