Long day?
Really long.
Speaking of Vietnam, I saw a really interesting documentary, or a piece, rather.
It was a very short clip about, they were talking about how marijuana, it was changed war,
and how Vietnam was the first war where the soldiers were smoking marijuana,
and they became reluctant to fight.
And it was all about the mentality of the soldiers just completely changed when they were in Southeast Asia.
And they were smoking weed, and they could smell the Viet Cong smoking weed, like, over the hill.
Like, they were, like, close enough to each other to smell each other's weed.
Shut up.
Yeah, and one guy was talking about how there was one time where he was high,
and he had seen this Vietnamese, this Viet Cong soldier, and he knew that that guy was high, too.
It was like, they looked at each other, and they knew they were high.
He just started.
And they knew, they didn't even know each other, and they're going to shoot each other,
because, you know, some fucking people in an office somewhere say that this is how it's supposed to go down.
But those Vietnam guys were the first generation to hear stories about war.
Yeah.
Like, because their dads came back.
My grandfather came back from World War II and was fucked up.
