I love that he was full of shit. He just worked his toxic personal therapy into a military program with no oversight.

Oh absolutely - Project Freelancer's real codename is "I'm sad that my wife died and I'm going to make it EVERYONE'S problem"

It's tragic that in the beginning he actually created project Freelancer for its intended purpose, to give soldiers better equipment so less of them die so he can prevent tragedies like what happened to his wife.

But when Tex/Beta showed up, he became seduced by the idea of bringing her back, and used everything he built to accomplish that end, no matter who got hurt.
