The "this" I was referring to was the woman of the story. You don't know how to truly empathize with her and it shows. That comes with experience. You try to give it this big rambo-izing. She's a person, Vince. That's what I'm saying.

I guess I should just not talk about what I have experienced, seen and heard. I have never been in combat, but I know about protecting myself. Sorry if that upsets you about my "Hollywood" influenced life, but the truth is truth.

Yeah, well I used to go deer hunting a lot as a teenager. Trust me, it's different. Funny, I don't like to pick up weapons or hunt anymore. It's not that I've become some big syrupy liberal or anything. I just take it a lot more seriously than I used to. Somehow I imagine you playing paintball on the weekends with your buddies. Trust me, though. I still know how to use a weapon but you can bet that if I pick up a weapon I won't be "playing war" and it won't be paint. That's the difference.
