The guy overachieved and made a good life for himself and his family. He is a likable player, and by all accounts, a good guy. He may have to make some life adjustments, but unless he was a complete moron with his money, he set himself and his family for life. I wish him well. I don't think we should feel too badly about it, because if you asked him, I'd bet he would say he would do it all again, even knowing what he knows now. It's part of the job.

 

While I feel bad to a point for him, I will still have much more empathy for a soldier who gets a limb blown off in a foreign country while protecting my freedom, all the while making about 25k a year for doing it. He is a much bigger hero in my eyes and much more deserving of my sympathies.
