Cotton Hill survived the war—but emotionally, he never came home. In this BWAAA! video essay, Mike examines how Cotton turns survival into identity, pain into authority, and private trauma into a family system that shapes Hank, Bobby, Peggy, Tilly, and everyone around him.


This is not a defense of Cotton. It is a closer look at why he matters: his bond with Bobby, his unexpected role in Peggy’s recovery, and the trauma that reaches across generations of the Hill family.
