Hi Vern, Got your letters today. It was great hearing from you. Actually, I can’t summarize my feelings of my trip to Australia [for R&R—“rest and relaxation”]. I don’t know if I had a fabulous time or not. It was weird. Getting back to a completely English-looking and -speaking country made me feel kind of ashamed of the way I’ve thought and acted over here [in Vietnam]. I realize that I’ve actually enjoyed some of the things I’ve done which would be repulsive to a healthy mind. This place does make you sick in the head. When one starts to enjoy the sickness of war, he is sick. . . .
—From Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam, 1985
