[He thinks for a minute - specifically about the guys he's talked to, that fought in your war. The thing is... he rarely talks to any of them about the war. Most of them refuse to talk about it altogether, and he respects that choice.]
I guess it depends. I think it's more the people than the time, you know?
We had a draft, too. I met plenty of guys who didn't want to be someplace I signed away my life just for a chance to get to. And I've met plenty of guys, since, who were never the same.
