This piece chokes me, beautifully and horribly. The anguish of surviving combat, trauma, and cultural repression cause such a volatile crock pot, that Rosendorf approaches with incredible emotional intelligence and grace. While the world we live in gets progressively efficient at violence, without being rote shows like this bring healing and space for that complex world of heightened pain and lost time enforced by that systemic trauma conditioning of Military culture.
