After two tours and coming back to a nation that hated us I pretty much got lost for a couple of years in booze and drugs and a lot of that time is gone, just fleeting memories. I was very angry and hurt and there was no one to talk to about it. The problem is that the prejudice still continues to this day.


I had one tour but returning to an ungrateful nation had an effect on my psyche. It probably plays a large as to why I am an ex-pat today.

Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha
