“Yes.” He had the scars, both mental and physical, to prove it. England during the revolution and Canada during 1812 still hit him where it hurt most. The civil war between him and Amelia was still too painful to talk about. Germany during the first world war and then Japan in the next…well those were thought he didn’t like to think about. The cold war and then the war on terror, the assassinations of his presidents, the the brutality, hatred, and fights in his own country with his own people… Yes Alfred has had many times where he trusted people too much, and it did nothing but hurt him later.
