“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, theyd be all right no matter what. But what I didnt reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I cant, I cant cope with it.”
