From which one can’t recover

Moving swiftly on

After the first civilian deaths of “Operation Togetherness” (aka Moshtarak) in Afghanistan, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup said:

Our aim is to protect the population. You don’t protect them by killing them. So of course it was a serious setback. It was a matter of grave concern to all of us and I think General McChrystal has expressed that concern very forthrightly and he has been apologising to the locals that are involved. But it’s not a setback from which one can’t recover.

Unless, I suppose, one is one of those people who were blown up?
