...i have this theory that the shit that we're into...like our interests...our hobbies...are glimpses into our past lives...like i think i was killed in the Vietnam War...i love Vietnam war movies...books, documentaries...and whenever i'm in a group situation i have these flashes...these dissolves...for instance on my softball team...Thomas will be standing there holding a bat but then it'll dissolve into Thomas standing there holding a gun...i always think of the people i know in terms of how they would be in war...i don't know...all just a theory...sometimes i believe in re-incarnation and sometimes i don't...might be just wishful thinking...anyway, polished off this first person account of John Parrish that was a medic in Vietnam...fucking gruesome book...the dude was just hit with bodies day in and day out...just swimming in blood and guts...saving lives and bagging bodies...i can't imagine the toll that would take on your mind...i also wonder what kind of soldier i'd be...brave, chicken shit?...would i be smoking weed all the time, straight edge?...whatever...war is fucking stupid on so many levels...ever hear of the military industrial complex?...allright, allright simmer down patriots...let's see what the good folk said on the message boards at Amazon about this book...
