I did a new Q&A for the Daily Beast, this time with stripper-turned-Army wife Lily Burana. While driving with you in the car, your husband had a flashback during which he thought he was back in Iraq. What was that like?
The first thing you need to know about my husband is you see him as someone very capable and utterly sane. I depend on my husband as reliable and centered, and to see him become a caricature out of Apocalypse Now—it was like watching someone become possessed. When I finally realized he was having this Hollywood flashback of the sort I didn’t think really happened, I realized there was a lot more going on under the surface than I ever would’ve have suspected. To watch him flip out was heartbreaking. Read: "The Patriotic Stripper."
