      Yes, and that's why you don't want 5' 6" Suzy McGoozy coming up that fire truck ladder to save your ass from a burning building. It's always nicer to see 6' 4" Sean O'Mally or Leroy Washington coming to the rescue.

Didnt have time for the more human part, where we see that good people express care for others, even though they experience conflict. Even when the others are wrong.
