Vietnam…war…it did something to us. Or maybe not. Maybe the bad seeds were always in me, and war gave them a dark place in which to grow.

They used to call it the ‘Great War’. But I’ll be damned if I could tell you what was so ‘great’ about it. They also called it ‘the war to end all wars’…’cause they figured...
