Our After Action Report.
In our After Action Report, we must tell ourselves a story that makes us the hero. If not the hero, then the victim of a freak series of unforeseen events or grave injustices.
The best way to make ourselves the hero is to follow a process.
A process makes it easier to recall the details that show us in the best light.
If we choose victimhood, then the process proves we did the best we could, before Fate intervened.
Even in our victimhood, we see we had hold of the control column and bravely fought in vain against the gods.
