Guys what if Soap's skull mask is red because he wants the enemies to focus their fire on him?
Like he's a Sergeant, he has people under his command, under his protection, we've seen him focus on saving people in that first mission, I think he's very protective.
I also think he's not very careful with his own well being, unconsciously thinks of himself as less important than everyone around him.
So what if he spray paints that mask bright red to make sure that if anyone there is spotted and shot it will be him? And if he's hurt, or dead, but everyone else is fine, then he's happy with that.
I dunno, I think unearthed trauma suits him. And I think it's funny that Soap's way of dealing with it is by being self-sacrificial, and Ghost way of dealing with it is the exact opposite, unconsciously leaving people behind if there's the slightest chance of them being dead because he can't stop or he's gonna die too (and he can't be back in a coffin and fire's a no go also so he just can't die period), and then being so deeply overwhelmed with guilt that it sends him in a spiral...
Makes for quite a funny couple dynamic... And honestly I don't even think Price would say much about it because you know he's just as fucked up and if he recognizes that they're fucked up then he has to acknowledge that he is too and he's barely hanging on as it is, but he can't break because what's gonna happen to his kids if he does?
I think in this case it's a job for Laswell, she's fucked up as well but has a very comforting wife and a therapist, so she's working on herself at least.

something about John becoming more "human" or "softer", gaining more compassion and humanity while Arthur becomes more bitter and cold, trying to "keep them safe" and immediately seeing the bad in people. not giving someone a chance and doing anything he can for answers.
something about when John said "we may very well end up switching places"

Hi. About the screaming panic in your head. Physical activity also usually doesn't work for me in those cases, but playing video games actually does. I am not a gamer and i mostly play the sims and stardew valley but this really helps to engage my brain with something else than panic. I sometimes feel guilty like i am wasting my time and i have to remind myself that this is also rest - sometimes reading a book or watching a movie is not enough, sometimes you have to just focus both your mind and your hands on something that does not let your mind wander and that's okay. Take care!
Normally the physical activity does the trick for me--at least for a few hours--but that's not a bad idea. Maybe it's time I just...go back to letting myself Spider-man swing around for a while.
