You know I got the other sense from this article. He doesn't want to show remorse because he wants to appear strong; a resilient rock against the ravages of other mere mortals. Yet, he knows that he did something wrong. He saw the pain and suffering of others up close and personal at a huge stretch of time for 2 years, and this is his way of dealing with guilt. Somewhere in his mind he sincerely believes that by speaking on the behalf of these people he is making a form of penance. I feel sad for him.
