    What circumstance brought you to the military?

    I was drafted at 18.

    Having had the experience would you say you are a better man than you otherwise might have been or were you diminished by it?

    No, I was planning on going to uni. I ended up with social phobia, alcoholism and a few other problems.

    Did killing people change the fabric of your being or was it a natural instinct?

    The Military generally speaking tears down your brain so they can rebuild it the way they want, killing is not a natural instinct in normal people but I don't have empathy for others.

    You got to go. They told me I could go, then the bastards canceled the war while I was still in AIT. Fuckers. At least I caught the Viet Nam Era designation.
