Explanation:

'The Moral Logic of Survivor Guilt' is an article written by Nancy Sherman. The article is regarding a 'survivor guilt' feeling that those feel for those who couldn't survive an accident.

'Survivor guilt' is a feeling that those feel about surviving an accident or trauma when their loved or closed ones couldn't.

In paragraphs 11-12, the author shares a story of an Army in charge officer, who feels guilty that one of a young man of 20s died while he was in-charge. He feels guilty because he was in-charge and it was his responsibility to place vehicles and set the security. Despite his placement that day in April 2003, in Iraq, Joseph Mayek was killed because of misfiring from a fighting vehicle. He was shot dead because of misfiring from the fighting vehicle. And Captain John Prior feels guilty of not placing the vehicles correctly which caused Joseph Mayek's life.

This event in paragraphs 11-12 contributes to the topic of 'survivor guilt' as Captain John Prior is having subjective guilt, an irrational guilt, knowing that he has done nothing wrong. This incident helps to understand how 'survivor guilt' takes root in the lives of people and how they feel guilty of even those things about which they could have done nothing.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
