To know death is to control your fear

[Gawdzilla]

I went to Southeast Asia in a twenty-man team. Fifteen of them died in-country and four more died before they were forty-five. I was present at 17 of those deaths. Death don't scare me none.

I have had a few near deaths, yet nothing that would match that.

And I hope you never do. It's been an interesting life, but not one I'd wish on anybody else. Nor would I refuse to live it if I knew at 19 what I know now.
