Survivor Guilt/Quotes

""He dies and not you, and you feel guilty, because you're glad he died, and not you. Soldiers live, and wonder why.”"

- Croaker, in Soldiers Live, by Glen Cook

"Annie: When that bomb went off...

Jack: I know.

Annie: I thought that was it. I thought that was the bomb, and I was dead. And when I saw her body fall under the bus, it was like...

Jack: You were glad you were still alive.

Annie: Mm-hmm. (cries) I'm so sorry.

Jack: Don't be. You should be glad. We all are. It doesn't mean you don't care.

Annie: I know, but she was so scared.

Jack: She was scared. She was a nice lady who didn't deserve to get killed, but if she'd gotten off, it would have killed us all. He's the asshole, Annie, the guy who put us here. Remember that.

Annie: Big asshole."
