Taking into account the mental suffering that you took away from all your service, most notably the PTSD, in hindsight do you feel you are somewhat privileged to have seen "the other side" of the story so to say, in other words are you still happy that you were drafted? Many kids around the world growing up reading about the stuff you did in history books will never have had the view from both the physical and political standpoint. Hope that doesn't come across disrespectful, a bit tough to word this question.

Was it a common occurrence that what you were listening to distracted you from transcribing it?
