      One of them said, “man, if I hadn’t been a little fucked up, I never would have done it. But if I hadn’t been fucked top when I started, I sure as fuck would have after the first one.”

      I was born in the 70’s. I’ve met a lot of vets but never met a tunnel rat. I only met one helicopter door gunner.

      I found out later, they didn’t last long. That’s why i only met one.

      Nice guy but he never left the war. He lived in his car but had plenty of money. He threw newspapers for a living back when you could make a living doing it.
