People look at me and laugh because I got told after I saw somebody get decapitated in a training incident, 'You'll never get over this.' And three other Marines get killed. And we're trying to save people, you know, we're doing what nurses do. We're doing the 'dance of death.' We're trying as hard as we can, our hands down their throats, trying to keep them alive. And everybody dies. We lose the dance of death. And one of my Marines (one of my senior Marines) came up to me and asked me, 'Sir, how are you doing?' I said, 'I don't know - we've been busy.' And he said, 'You know, you're never going to get over this.' Right. And I can't. I'll tell you what I said. This is verbatim. He's a gunnery sergeant, right? Yeah. Well, Gunny, I'm not exactly effin' sure, but I'm pretty effin' sure that the effin' therapist doesn't say that to the effin' patient right about effin' now.

That was my introduction to the 'valley of the shadow of death,' right? And I was already in it because my parents divorced and never spoke again . . ."
