[Husker] Casey Martinez Talks to the LA Times (UNCLASSIFIED)

Caveats: FOUO

Taylor needs to man up and be a leader.  I see this in our military so
many times it freaking kills me where kids just don't man up and fight
through the pain or other issues.  I watched my father damn near cut his
foot off with a chainsaw.  He told me to go get a rag so he could stop
the bleeding and continue to saw wood.  I knew right then and there to
never be a wimp especially around my dad who grew up on a farm in
Antelope County Nebraska. Our society has become a nation of wimps.  The
wussification continues with no end in sight.  I watched my son
dislocate his shoulder from the stands in high school and I am very
close with him but I did not rush to his side and baby him his mother
was another story.  If you can't take an occasional tongue lashing then
you might be in the wrong business. I can't tell you how many times I
have gotten my ass chewed out.  Take it like a man, learn from it and
drive on.
