He says soothingly, "That's not true. Someone needs to be doing this work, and someone would be guarding whoever was doing that work. If it wasn't you and my team, it would have been someone else. And I guarantee you, another team would have fared much worse against a graul. A frelling graul, Snaps! Look, we specs all put ourselves on the line. Yes, we take losses. But we take a lot fewer losses than other folks do. We do more with less, more often than anyone else. I can tell you that the Lieutenant and her two platoons would not have fared half as well as half of my squad did against that thing. So, yeah, we took some hits. We take them, again and again, willingly, so that other people don't have to. So none of this nonsense about this being your fault. It's literally our job, and they did it excellently."
