That’s a good question. There’s some good points. Women can do just about anything these days, and that’s amazin’. And it’s nice that the wars over— well, the war I was in, at least. [She casts a small, knowing smile. Things are kind of a cluster right now.]

At the same time... it was simpler, back then. And everyone I knew back then is gone, or damn well near gone. Back then, I was at least a hero —- you mention bein’ a vet nowadays and some people get real fussy. I never got my homecoming. [Which is a bummer, but—- she adds on the next part with a bit of chipperness to her voice.]

Heated seats! Amazin’. I could never give em up.
