Michelle,

It's been a while. I think your husband is a hybrid of two of the phrases he used. We've discussed it before, that the pace here in Iraq, and the mission focus is about as intense an emotional experience as you can get. I'm not sure that everyone wyho comes home from here is "scarred", even those who've seen some terrible stuff. Some are. No doubt about it. War is horrible. The rest, changed, yes, but scarred, no. A lot of guys continue to need that adrenaline rush post OIF/OEF. He seems to be one of those. That being said, he also seems to be incredibly immature. He does sound "out there", but he also seems terribly immature.
