Everything, just like it happened this morning. Funny. I'm 61. That shit will never go away. You learn to deal with it. Stay away from the situations that’s gonna remind you of it. And you're constantly reminded of it anyway, you know. It's a funny deal, when I first come back for a year I never thought of Vietnam. Never thought of it. When I left there I didn’t even look out the window, just never thought of it. And then through the years it starts creeping back in. I think age has got something to do with it. You start getting mellow. Where before it was no big deal, they say, 'You did what?' You say, 'Yeah, its not a big deal.' Because it wasn't.

It’s the world you’re in. But I really don't think the human mind is programmed for that world. It just can’t be. I mean at the time you don’t think it’s traumatic. You’re just doing what you do. It’s hectic, noise, and this and this and blood and all this crap and dead people and all this stuff. But you don’t think, 'Oh Jesus, this is horrific.' You just did it. And I think once you get a little older and you start looking back at it you go, 'Ew.'
