Combat Veterans Tell Us What We Need to Know About War

[TreasonousBastard]

4. With all the vets I've known, those who saw action almost never talk about it. My father was in the.

Battle of the Bulge, but while he would wax prolific on K-rations and the cold, he never even got close to talking about any German soldiers he may have shot.

My stepfather was a medic in the Italian invasion, and never talked about soldiers guts hanging out.

I knew lot of 'Nam vets, many of whom actually felt guilt for being rotated out, not so much for killing VC. I remember one guy who took an extra year and went back. He couldn't handle those guys he fought with stuck there when he was safe.
