I think war is so awful that people never do quite heal from it. In Vietnam, people did a lot of drugs that increased the emotional damage both on those who used them and those who dealt with the ones who used them.
My dad popped up out of sleep, too. Actually, so do I if people say my name. If people touch me gently I wake up gently. I never went to war. Who knows why that happens?
