Very insightful, Matthew - heart and experience - compassion for those abused - making them a kind of focus in the seeking of - forgiveness? I am reminded of my reading of US NGUYEN Thanh Viet (The Sympathiser 2016 Pulitzer; The Committed, 2021; and A Man of Two Faces 2023. Of Australian André DAO's ANAM (2022?) - the writing of Andrew BACEVICH - the writing of Wilfred Burchett - and many others writing of the horrors of war. I referenced a colleague, yesterday - from 1973 - a US military man in Viet Nam just earlier - his name was Mark Buls... I recall trying to contact after reading his memoir stories - but nothing ever came back... Thanks, again. Jim
