"Part of my being fucked up is an extreme aversion to getting put in a situation close to that again." Watching his squad die before the Project- and everything that happened during and after PFL....yeah. He's not really eager to jump into the ranks again. Not that he thinks Hob is gonna go the way of the Director but-

It's just the situation. All of them, the way there were, the way they are- he got five years to sit back and look at things. Got a few months here to break it down for himself how to keep it from happening again.

"No disrespect to you or the Army. You're good people doing a good thing. It's just...not for me. Not again."
