a family member was in the hill battles at khe sanh. he got his wires wrattled which is true to this day.
being shelled 24hours a day
being in a foxhole where the concussions are rattling the earth and you realize you are sleeping on a rotting corpse.
and air support being so low that spent shell casings are hitting you in the helmet.
And that doesn't change you?
or my friend on why he doesn't fly anymore. after dropping napalm at about 400knots three hundred feet off the deck turning people into
crispy critters. crispy critters? his words, not mine. A cessna doesn't cut it.
And we have thousands more to join the club from our recent eplorations in the sand box and the stans.
I am dealing with one or more of them on a pretty regular basis.
That stuff screws your mind.
And the ultimate bugger you have to ask yourself, was all of it with the damage worth it? Not many want to face that question.
