    I studied a lot of military history growing up. It's where a lot of my knowledge comes from. One thing always struck me, though.

        During the Vietnam War, draftees had to serve one tour, basically. Some went back for more. Volunteered.

        I never really knew why. I figured it was some patriotic thing, or maybe a sense of self-sacrifice, or machismo, or something.

        But there's this other side that I get now. Sometimes you don't want to leave the war zone.

        On July 4, I was on a rooftop in Berlin, having a party. Knowing that I was heading home to something dark.

        I'd love to get back to that. I'm not sure if I ever can.

        I know that this is trauma speaking. I'm speaking it because I know that I have to speak it if I ever have a chance to get back there.

        I spoke to a multi-tour VV >20 yrs ago. He went back 3x(!) (despite deep guilt) because he felt obligated to the buddies he left there.

        Kinda like the beginning of Apocalypse Now. He wants nothing more than to go back to the jungle. The home he left doesn't exist anymore.
