How did I not know this story about Carter? As a young man he was lowered into a Canadian reactor after a melt-down.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Old article. Carter is now 97.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
