Graham drunk a lot.

I remember stories from my father-in-law, a Marine veteran that served a tour in Vietnam during heavy combat. His wife would sometime have to call his older sister to come over and calm him down, and he also was into drinking, especially Vodka.

PTSD, he could not watch war movies for a long time. But he went to school and got his degree and eventually worked for the Country of L.A. over 30 years, and now is retired with benefits.

But that military experience during war time will stay with him.
