When I was an XO long ago I was planning to have Thanksgiving with one of the NCOs in our unit and his family and something went catastrophically wrong with the turkey.

At one point he tries to explain to his brother and he just… can’t. The story would sound too crazy. 99.99% of the people in the story would call him a madman. The other 0.01% would try to kill him for knowing too much. It fits neatly into the storytelling device of thus being a secret history.
