there were treating me like a headcase.
in 'nam i flew gunships. million dollar equipment. back here nobody trusts me to park cars. i keep thinking it's going to be okay.  but i've been out six years and it's not okay. sometimes i feel like i'm coming right out of my skin.
that's it. my life.
those men are all dead.
yeah. big time.
five. i never wanted that stuff.
i just wanted.  i don't know.  after all that.  i just wanted one person, one person, to come up to me and say "you did good, john." and mean it. that's all. after all that.
you a spook?
i don't work with spooks. not after that op in cambodia.
what's the job?
