The odd truthism of the data and how it matched my early life scares the hell out of me. A sound to your right is all you know before someone else dies. Anyone. Just another point in the distribution of death. To be there is enough to die. You don’t have to be good or bad or atheist. It only helped if you were from Pennsylvania or California. Bad odds boy. They must have known, somehow.
This is the statistical death mask of Vietnam.No doubt that those who were there in that big 67-68 hump have a different view of how much fun the war was, than those in that tail end. So it has always been.
