This part gets me. He feels so out of place in a normal life, and he knows he should try to connect with his wife, but she doesn’t want to hear his war stories. When she interrupts him, you can see that he’s thinking this will never work the way it should.
But on the other hand, I can also sympathize with his wife. It can’t be easy to hear the kind of stories he needs to tell because he talks about death so nonchalantly, and that shit is scary to a military wife.
Basically, this scene works really well as proof that the military needs better therapy resources for soldiers. They need to talk things out, but their spouses aren’t always the best person to hear and respond to those stories.
