They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity and hate. I saw it before the war, I see it today. [...] I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.
Max BrooksWe relinquished our freedom that day, and we were more than happy to see it go.

Itโs their fault, not mine.โ The freedom, God help us, to say โI was only following orders.โ-World War Z
