I'm back from work now. A friend of mine, Buddy Clark - he can be heard reading a quote from the Declaration of Independence in my film, Vietnam: American Holocaust, told me how, as a young Marine, he became so causal with death that he would eat his lunch on the bodies of dead Koreans. He was crying when he told me this. Working on the film forced him to relive some very painful memories but his contributions were invaluable to its creation.
