Cougar shrugs when asked how he deals with it, because he's not sure he's ever had a decent coping method. Jake could speak to how terrible he is at it, given how badly he'd reacted when the helicopter went down and not only that, but after the incident in Afghanistan. Coping is not a word Cougar is best friends with, by any means. So how does he cope with this place? "I think I have to. If not, you go crazy," is what he says, and maybe there are some people who might think that he's already around that bend, but it's not true.

"And people," he adds. "People help."
