    Reading about the kid was heartbreaking.

    This quote is pure hubris: (oh irony)

      Oh my god I only know a little bit about galvanic corrosion from messing around with aluminum fishing boats. I had no idea this was at play here.

      This guy was a fucking moron.

        He’s not wrong, he’ll be remembered for the rules he broke. Perhaps the quote wasn’t meant as an inspiration, but a warning. MacArthur did lose his job over his rule-breaking.

          That thought occurred to me as well…

          Knowing which rules can (or even should) be bent/broken, and which rules absolutely shouldn’t be compromised can be difficult but… not in this case. This was easily avoidable.
