the girls who are into band of brothers in the year 2024 are the kind of people you can count on. the ones to call when you need someone to pick you up from the bar at 3 AM. someone who will make you soup when you're sick. you know what I'm talking about

post-war webgott is soooo crazy. like joe talking big game to web about the job he's gonna have and the house he's gonna buy and the wife he's going to marry and the kids they're gonna have but that was before landsberg and before he realized how deep the scars ran. and then he gets back to san francisco and there's something inexplicably broken inside him and he can't talk to anybody about it. he doesn't know what to say to his family, how to explain the things he did and saw and the person he became. they would never understand, so he just drives his cab and feels that hole inside him getting bigger and bigger

and web returns to havard and his books and his essays and his ivy league social circles but he's changed too. and it's all so trite and infuriating and lonely. none of his peers understand him anymore and he doesn't fit in all over again. and maybe he writes to joe and joe doesn't respond, and web assumes he's moved on and forgotten about him, but that doesn't stop web from thinking about joe more often than he should. and he hates the army and he'd never go back but something is undeniably missing

and eventually one of them snaps and they find each other on the east coast or the west and it's a huge leap of faith. they both assume the other is better off now, that the war is over for them and they don't want to be reminded of it by an old army buddy showing up on their doorstep. but as much as they butted heads, they always tried to understand one another, and that's what's missing from their lives now. so they reunite and it's so hard and they don't know if it's even possible to be together but finally after being stateside for a year or so it's like being home :/
