@msquebanh I lost so many because of Viet Nam. Went to funerals of classmates before I was 16. Those who came back were never the same, and they were lost to us too soon. I thought that would wake people up. But I found that people turn away from the ugly truth in favor of a fairytale fictional alternative. I am glad you made home and I applaud that you refuse to be silent. Fortunately for me, I am, not afraid of fury, and I will look behind the curtain every time.
