Vandelay
Life is absurd. Lean into it.
My ex has an uncle that fought in Vietnam
He’s a nice guy overall but there’s this thousand yard stare he gets whenever he speaks for too long or if you get him talking anything related to that time period that’s straight up depressing.
It’s like he’s reliving things pretty much 24/7
he’s analyzing where doors and windows are at all times. I can’t even imagine
My uncle is was a marine in it too. Dude won't talk about it and just virtually blacked it out his mind.
The few things he did tell me, it was a game of who is my enemy and often times not being able to attack your enemy because of politics.
