Found the self help guide this flailing administration has been using to guide all its “policy making” decisions. Without having actually read it through to the end, obviously.

THE CLASSIC #1 BESTSELLER
CATCH-22
A NOVEL BY
JOSEPH HELLER
A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions
...
'That's some catch, that catch-22,' [Yossarian] observed.
'It's the best there is,' Doc
Daneeka agreed.

The hair. Where did it go?
Dan ~17 y.o. Thick curly black hair. Arched eyebrows. Mischievous grin. Ghostly complexion blending into a wrinkled white dress shirt “complemented” by a 80’s punk style skinny black tie. Wearing black pants that are probably pleated and rolled at the cuffs, but off camera. Facing right but turning towards the camera. Seated at a brown kitchen  table with a green plant in the background. Clipped from the picture are my two best friends from H.S. from whom I didn’t get a chance to ask for permission before posting.

I have to admit, it is kind of wild to see the US say this so openly. It used to be that the US would say they were doing this because of "human rights" concerns, not that they were ever concerned. Now they boast about imposing a humanitarian threat to starve the people / enact regime change.
