V-2nd

[Mark Kohut]

Let's see, while bar-hopping on leave, we have the question: 
Why do men fight?     And then some seemingly gratuitous insensitive pain.

If I were some kind of crazy, wildly speculative, literary critic manque fool overgeneralizer like
so many THINK I am: I might ask: 

Were Pynchon a religious-obsessed seeker of truth, might this start to V. signal a fictional foray into
'the problem of evil' --in history, in human nature--as the theologians call it?

Closer reality connection: when I was growing up, the family dentist had 
been a Navy dentist during WWII. I can testify to the man's lack of interest 
in whether he was causing pain. At some point I had two wisdom teeth 
extracted. Asked him about pain control, and he said, "Wait at least two 
hours. If it still hurts, take two aspirin." Pretty much shot the rest of 
that day and all of that night.
