The human made portable AI's (called 'buckleys' after their creator) that basically 'die' (reset themselves) because of panic attacks if they are given the opportunity was too funny. If their awareness is turned up too high for too long, they basically worry themselves to 'death'- only to reset and return to awareness in a panic, of course.
Didn't he also get killed because he activated a grenade, shoved it into a crevasse only to find out that he couldn't open his hand to turn it loose?
Weber's history of the SLN Joseph Buckley named ships was funny as well.
Hmmmm I was stationed on the USS Dennis J. Buckley DD 808 which was named after Dennis Joseph Buckley Jr.
And you survived? Very fortunate!
