I had a neighbor like that. Husband was old school SF who went to work for The Agency after Vietnam. Tough as nails. His son did the same after getting out of the Army.
The wife, on the other hand, never left her house. Was afraid to go outside. Sat in front of the TV watching that MSM Fear-Porn until she eventually died. Hadn’t lived her life probably since the Gulf War kicked off. Would panic if she saw kids playing alone in the street without adults present (in the early 1990s when that was extremely common). It was sad.
