You'll be alright. You're always alright.

Ha yeah, i'll never be alright, no one who goes to war is ever "alright". No one who leaves is the same when you come back. You just learn to live with it. There are now more vets from the Falklands have killed themselves than we lost in combat. But you just keep going, there is no other way but to be "alright". Thank you so much for your comment though.
