This strip is freaking out the Hemingway Complex, because: "Mistakes were made" is a phrase invoked by governmental bodies when it becomes obvious that they have done something unforgiveable, and they have to acknowledge it without actually apologizing or taking responsibility for it. (Ex: Ronald Reagan with the Iran-Contra affair, the Clintons during Whitewater, George Bush about the Iraq war, as well as Henry Kissinger, Ulysses Grant, Richard Nixon, John McCain, et al.) As regards dear Mary, is she parroting what she's been hearing on the news since she was young (the Grant administration), or is she actually admitting that her twisted love life has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians?
And: is this actually Dr Corey? Because when did he dye his hair and get some clothes from this decade?
