Judas KISS- Eight- Disarray ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✥

The things Steve told Helen about war, the danger, the atrocity, and specially about when the soldiers were taking time off for R and R in Saigon were heart wrenching! Those occasions, when Steve talked about war, were the only times that Helen was all ears and they did not fight.

One of the things that young Vietnamese, bar women in Saigon did to

American service men were so horrible that Helen lost sleep over it for a few nights. These women who were either sympathetic to North Vietnam or were threatened by them through Vietcong, ground glasses to very fine powder and mixed it with the beer that Americans drank. No one could see this ground powdery glass in the beer bottle or glass. Many American soldiers died or wounded seriously this way!

Or some of these bar women took Americans, who were lonely and faraway from home for a long time, to their homes and slept with them. The American soldiers were thankful to these beautiful Vietnamese girls. But none returned in the morning to their bases. These girls cut the throat of the soldiers in sleep; in some cases they cut even their penes and put them in their mouth!

Very soon American Military found out about these atrocities! Steve told her.

"They ordered all American servicemen to take their R and R in places like Japan, Philippines, or Taiwan, not in Saigon anymore!"

The revulsion in Helen was too strong to be called disgust. It was a tumult and uproarious compulsion which the terrible strain of the night, morning, day time, made an unending pain both physically and mentally on her! She began having terrible headaches; and because of that their arguments increased in their intensity and length. She thought that these headaches would go away when Steve was gone, when she would be with Jacob again; but that was not the case. They continued! Horrible headaches that even made her to vomit.

Jacob insisted that she should see a doctor.

"You never had these headaches before! What did he do to you to cause these?"

So now Jacob was blaming her husband for her headaches!! She kind of did not like it. She told Jacob the stories of war and atrocities that Steve had told her:

"Since I heard these things, my headaches began!"

However she went to the doctor. The doctor listened to everything she said, to when the headaches had started and made a correct diagnosis!!
