Same with my dad. He was in Korea too, USMC. He earned a purple heart, but never talked about his time there.

Same here. My father was in the Army and was in WW2, Korea and Nam. He also never talked about any of those times.

My Company thought a few of us should work with the Green Berets. I'am glad i served, i wouldn't have joined if i wasn't drafted. I talk very little about my experience in the Military especially with my Sons and they never really ask anyway. I will talk about Boot Camp and the funny stories that weren't funny back then but are now.

Military stories can be endless, some funny, some not.
