[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 1067432, member: 655"] Well, back then, guys were supposed to "suck it up" and just deal with their issues. My Dad was a Korean War vet. Part of Task Force Smith. Came home in June of '52. Tried to go deer hunting when he got back. Bought himself a shotgun, went out in the woods, and never fired the gun. As far as I know, he never fired it. Between the sound of guns in the woods, and, well, what he said was, "I saw the deer and I couldn't shoot it". Just deal with it. As I kid I remember the blood-curdling screams coming from him in the middle of the night. As my mom said, "Dad's nightmares". I didn't understand it until I was a bit older. I always remember something my dad said. We were watching a war movie, and someone bayoneted a guy, and just pulled it out. "It's not that easy. Know the easiest way to get a bayonet out? Load a round and pull the trigger." That's when I really started to understand the nightmares. Also, one of the reasons I joined the Air Force. If we do personal combat, things have gone really bad. I sometimes wonder about my neighbor across the street. Several tours in the sandbox, and two knife kills. It's one thing to shoot someone, but damn, to kill someone with a knife in hand-to-hand combat? How do you get past that? IF I ever have to shoot, I hope I have control and don't have to kill anyone. Not something I want to carry with me. But you never know how you will react until it hits the fan. [/QUOTE]
