In essence, this story illustrates the epitome of white privilege and toxic masculinity in this country, and in the world.

This also shows up in religious concepts throughout the world... of a "too big to fail" 'God' who cannot be wrong and instructs his 'chosen ones' to go and conquer, while showing and protecting the 'favored ones' from failure and consequences.

Mistakes and failures are not really such a bad thing, IF we learn from such. And IF... we allow our children to learn from their own mistakes, failures and consequences. Very hard for a parent to do at times, however.
