When I got out of the military in 1992 I was hanging out with my cousin and some of his friends one night just relaxing and drinking beer. One of the guys had heard that I had just gotten out and started telling me horror stories of being in Vietnam killing children with bombs strapped to them, etc. I didnt know the guy and really didnt pay him any mind. Later that night one of the guys pulled me aside and told me that was his father telling the tales and dont pay attention to him because he was discharged in basic training after he was drafted and never went anywhere. I guess he just needed to make himself look impressive.
