My dad got shot in the eye and gut and lost his eye in the Sicilian Campaign...He spent six months recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital ... He had several operations on his eye... They could save it cosmetically but not the sight... He had a ninth grade education and was working as a bartender in his brother's bar when the war begun... He also was a Golden Gloves fighter when he was drafted... The hope of turning pro died in Sicily...
He cried like a baby when our POWS came home from Nam , battered but not broken...
He would be appalled to hear that soldiers from this misbegotten foreign adventure came home to become domestic terrorists as someone here suggested..
What disgraceful lunacy...
