A published story about a Vietnam Veteran and his Vietnamese wife struggling with the effects of his PTSD. It's my favorite Vietnam-related story because it captures a lot of the conflicting emotions combat veterans feel.

Excerpt:  I stared at our bedroom mirror, watching Bruno rape my wife. She struggled beneath his spent weight, his sweat. They say moments like these define a man. This one defined me a coward. I was frozen in disbelief, unable to move or speak.
