Could we please not have another major war in my lifetime? Is that too much to ask?

Should have made it "Limited war".

Not the act of someone deeply concerned about her image, no?

Or at least, not the act of someone who cares more about their image than they do about admitting a mistake.

I mean, I wouldn't even have known she'd ever held the position in the first place if she hadn't said so. So bonus points to drunk!Duchess for being willing to say something about that and express actual change and growth and recognition of realities that she did not recognize in the past.

It was an odd thing to do, but I for one am not criticizing. The world might be a better place if more of us thought back on what we'd done and said in years past and reflected and tried to learn from our mistakes, and used our new ideas to update our old assumptions.
