Fair winds, Lt Dalton, you have certainly earned it.
Reading anything related to the Japanese POW situation, the Bataan Death March, and the Burma-Thailand Death Railway ("Ship of Ghosts" by Hornfischer) is a very difficult thing to do. Reading about the survivors of those experiences ("Baa Baa Blacksheep" by Boyington, or "Devil At My Heels" by Zamperini...just a few of a score or so I've read) really pisses me off, but also inspires me to be a better man, to see if I can live up to the examples set by these folks.
Eternal Father, Strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea.
