I wonder if Bullitt's parents are in the know

and if you see someone walk up to him and ask A) "did you shoot anyone?" or B) "did you know anyone who got killed?" - do your roommate a favor and hit the inquisitive one with a crowbar.

i would say it would be ok to ask him what unit he is with and how long he has been in the service. that will open the door by letting him know you are interested in his service, so he will talk if he is comfortable. it will also not come off as prying if he isn't comfortable talking about it.

one of the big things he will be dealing with is looking around the campus at all the students the same age as himself that haven't dealt with any issues bigger than how they can get laid on friday and comparing that to his experience in a hot environment.
