4. I'm not cutting him any slack

or my father either. My dad suffered from extreme PTSD from combat WWII. I lived in fear that something would trigger him into killing mode. It was always there under the surface. Thankfully it never happened to my knowledge. Since he was highly skilled in covert operations so there is no way to know, but I think not. If Dad had wantonly killed I would be first to say he must face the consequences.
