Worth saying here, that Vietnam scene was a bit more powerful, back when the wounds that war left on America were still fresh. The Comedian talks about it himself - "I mean, if we'd lost this war ... I dunno. I think it might have driven us a little crazy, y'know? As a country?". That's one of the lines that hit me like a hammer on the first read, years ago.
The irony is that it's driven him a little crazy, that we won (with Jon's help).
