Kugai:
At least it went better than it could have gone considering how angry and upset Bubbles was.
Radium_Coyote:
I have to admit, I got a little misty-eyed. One of those occasions when the best thing to say is nothing at all.
43mike:
Jeph, there has to be robot veterans groups.
Please make a robot veteran group in your universe.
I said this on the subreddit, but I want to say it again.
______
I identify with Bubbles.
I knew so many good soldiers that got out and were in so much pain.
You want to talk about it, but people don't get it. Your fellow veterans get it, but they're dealing with shit too, and you don't want to put another rock in their ruck.
You drink just to be numb. Feeling nothing is better than feeling this.
Even as a civilian. "Hey you were in X unit. You must be a bad ass". They don't get that you've seen some horrible shit and you don't want to be alpha male bad ass. Combat left me disabled physically, destroyed mentally.
Combat is awful, sometimes you don't want to be hard. You just want to snuggle with a cat and pretend combat didn't happen. You want to cry.
Then you get up, go to college, crack jokes because people like the funny guy with funny stories.
I identify with Bubbles.

That is, in fact, the exact reference I was going to make.
Damn you Well done.
