He previously took a mission to rescue the illegitimate Malaysian daughter of a British embassy worker who'd been kidnapped by rogue Indonesian soldiers, and the mission ended with the girl and several of Conrad's own men dead. As a result, Conrad became disillusioned by the British government (not least because he suspected the mission was fixed from the get-go), he left the SAS, and he chose freelance missions more cautiously from then on.

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
*** Captain Kirk failed to restrain his friend Commander Mitchell when he began exhibiting God-like powers, although he was warned by Mr. Spock. It wasn't until Mitchell killed a crewman and set about destroying the Enterprise that Kirk took action.
*** And prior to that, he was haunted for over a decade by the deaths of over 200 crewmen (including his CO) because he thought his hesitation in firing on the MonsterOfTheWeek allowed it to attack. It was only when he saw it would have made no difference that he accepted his choice.
*** Beyond Kirk, Commodore Decker in "The Doomsday Machine" is pushed beyond the DespairEventHorizon when he watches in horror as the planetoid he evacuated his crew to is destroyed by the titular device, killing everyone. He's DrivenToSuicide by the result.
** ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'': Kirk's blunder in failing to arm the Enterprise in time resulted in Khan blasting the ship nearly to hell. He came back nicely though...
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
*** Subverted in the episode "Tapestry", where what Picard thought was his worst failure was picking a fight as a cadet and getting an artificial heart due to getting his real one stabbed. As Q showed, that incident made Picard what he is.
*** In "The Bonding" the non-corporeal Koinonians chose not to interfere when their physical counterparts began a war that ultimately destroyed them. They view their failure to prevent this as a great shame.
*** In "Family", Picard perceives being unable to stop the Borg from using him as part of their invasion in "The Best of Both Worlds" as his greatest failure.
*** Lwaxana Troi is shown to be going to great lengths to cover up what she sees as her greatest failure in the episode "Dark Page." [[spoiler: She blames herself for the accidental drowning of her first-born daughter & Deanna's older sister]].
** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''
*** In the episode "Things Past", Odo's friends witness his greatest failing as a security officer during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor: in the interest of keeping order, he condemned three innocent Bajorans for attempting to assassinate Gul Dukat based on circumstantial evidence. He eventually recognized his mistake and has tried to do better ever since. At some points, he seems to suggest that working for the Cardassians in general was this to him.
*** Worf has his own: as a child, not realizing how much more powerful Klingons are than humans, he killed another child during a game of soccer. He's held himself back from full enthusiasm over anything ever since.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Chakotay failed to catch (and ended up falling in love with) the Cardassian spy Seska in his Maquis cell, which came back to haunt him when she betrayed the series' titular ship and its crew to the evil Kazon. To add insult to injury, he also failed to catch the ''Federation'' spy Tuvok, compounding the guilt over Seska's betrayal. He only (sorta) recovered when he realized that ''neither'' spy realized the other was in the cell, making the incident not (entirely) his fault.
-->'''Chakotay''' (to Tuvok): "She was working for them, you were working for her... was ''anyone'' on my ship working for ''me???''"
** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Hugh is responsible for the well-being of the former Borg drones on the Artifact, so when about a dozen of them are gunned down by Narissa and her guards, he feels guilty that he was unable to shield them from the cruelty of the Romulan Free State.
-->'''Hugh''': I've failed them all.
** In ''Film/StarTrek2009'', Spock-prime's greatest failure was not arriving in time to save the planet Romulus from a supernova blast. This results in a mad man from the future seeking vengeance on The Federation and destroying Spock's home planet, Vulcan.
