Psych Report 2 (Frank Gennaro)

SOLDIER: Capt. Frank Gennaro DOCTOR: Dr. Cassie Aklin

NOTES: I feel like a monster. I just learned that Frank Capt. Gennaro is now eligible for this week's test. How can I continue working here knowing full well that our research could deprive two kids of their loving father? Or send another widow out into the world to fend for a shattered family?

Then again, why does Gennaro have any more right to live than the other two? They're all human beings, right? I have to maintain my objectivity.

In light of his inclusion in the new voting pool, I had a longer session with Frank today. He's wracked with guilt - over duty, responsibility and, mainly, over money. It seems that the captain has a long history of gambling problems. He mentioned some loan sharks (I think that's what they're called), but he shut down when I pressed him on the matter. I think Frank has a lot of fear pent up inside him, but I don't blame him one bit.

This situation has forced me to reevaluate my role at Project Abraham. How can I "fix" this soldier's issues in such a limited frame of time? I know that's an impossible way to think about it, but I refuse to just sit back and read them their last rites.

I have to give Frank some semblance of psychological comfort. That goes for the rest of the men, as well.
