      Right like the larger-than-life framing of the Avengers kind of obfuscates this, but if you're a guy like Agent Ross, you for sure don't want to have to put up with the bullshit of a kid like Scarlet Witch (cf. Coulson, whose manchildness BENEFITS this)https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1302739772213833728 …

      Worth noting that when we're first introduced to Agent Ross in Civil War his job appears to be the government liaison overseeing Sokovia Accords enforcement and riding herd on the Avengers Who are this exaggerated archetype of fucked up broken people with very important jobs

      I read a thing once about an Army Air Force general from WWII talking about how back then they tried to do a study to see if there was a certain personality type that "bred aces", a way to identify where they should try to recruit talented fighter pilots

      And there just wasn't a pattern, much as they wished there were Being good at flying a plane in combat is a very very rare skill and one that past a certain point you just have or don't, there's no way to teach it Which is very frustrating for the brass who care about PR

      Some of the top aces in WWII were very mild, normie, clean cut guys, devout Christians who went to church every Sunday and never swore and were fully loyal to their wives and kids Some were total basket cases, drug abusers and alcoholics, womanizers and harassers

      On the Axis side, no one who fought in the Luftwaffe could be said to be a "good guy" but they were just as likely to speak freely among themselves about how Hitler was a clown as they were to be frothing hardcore Nazis

      And in both cases it didn't *matter*, there were plenty of pilots the more politically minded brass would've preferred to cut loose but actually good fighter pilots were such a precious resource in the war they needed all of them

      One of the little facts about the war that I love is that Roald Dahl was very likely an ace, but also believed it to only have happened because he was dumb enough to try something he really shouldn't have early on and somehow didn't die.

      Roald Dahl's bizarre panoply of personality problems that made him "difficult" now in hindsight reads as all too common for the kind of broken person who joins the military looking for dangerous jobs in the first place and then leaves it with a huge dose of untreated PTSD

      If you've read Roald Dahl's story that made him into a writer - his first person account of what happened when he was shot down in the war - it's deeply haunting It may be the best thing he ever wrote (or at least the most honest and unfiltered)

      It's this depiction of him just fully dissociating in order to survive, his mind and his identity turning off so his broken body could pull itself out of the wreckage completely on autopilot, ignoring the agony and terror filling his psyche

      And then he completely breaks afterwards and half the story is this demented haunting fever dream with him having full on hallucinations in the hospital Themed around that total loss of identity, dissolving into the universe, losing all sense of what's real or not

          And the RAF, being very shorthanded at the time, just kept him there alone in a room racked by screaming nightmares until his leg was healed enough to walk, then shook his hand and sent him home with a pension PTSD counseling being several decades in the future

          If you've read Boy, you know that he already had issues with abandonment (possibly full on "attachment disorder"), after his sister died at a young age and his father died shortly after from grief and his mom sent him to boarding school
