Or, at least, once they were "shed," the experiences could be handled in that impersonal manner. My concern was with their attaining a calm state, a frame of mind where they could "leave all that shit behind". To the best of my recollection, most were able to attain that. And I felt pretty community good about that. In fact, I community recall that most were thankful for my being there, to help them "fill out the forms" or community "set things straight" in their minds about how to categorize their recent experiences and their current predicament. Another thing I recall, and I've thought about this often though I don't recollect that I gave it much deep thought at the time, is that there were "others" passing through, who didn't seem to require what I offered, or maybe didn't even see me. I just accepted it as factual. There wasn't any "us" and "them"....there was only one brand, one color, one sex, one rank, one type - just souls. No VC, no civilians, no officers, no REMFs. Just souls passing through.
