#my other usual thought about klaus' time in vientam is how goddamn good his little sweater he wears in the club dancing with dave looks

I enjoy your opinion of the Brellies, so I would like to ask how do you think Klaus views Vietnam? In the comics he enjoys it (even has a kid with a local that he cares for), and in the show it seems to represent his best and worst time of his life.

I think that same sentiment carries over and sums it up well. On one hand - He's not a Fuck Up there; he's just another traumatized young man doing the best he can in war. And he finds the love of his life.

On the other hand - it's the fucking Vietnam War. So.

Twas the best of times, twas the worst of times. I think with Dave dying it slides more to the Worst of Times, but the really golden good of Dave is something he'll never forget or let go of. I don't think he'd talk much about any of his time in 'Nam, for how bad it was, certainly, but also to keep that best bit that was Dave close and his.
