[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 408339, member: 3"] My father fought and was wounded in Korea. He wouldn't talk about it to me. But, I was just a kid, he died when I was eleven. Later on I had asked family if what had happened to him in Korea led to his early (47) demise and they said "probably". I don't think you can put a generic label on a war survivor. We're all human and we all deal with things differently. My daughter served in the navy on the USS Nimitz during the last conflict, she worked on the deck of the carrier launching sorties into the sky for bombing raids into Afghanistan. That carrier circled the gulf for months operating day and night. Her comment on the whole situation was simply "Dad, it was crazier than you could possibly imagine". Apparently the Russians and the Chinese would purposely feign attack-like moves against the carriers with their own ships and planes, pulling back at the last possible moment, in attempts to deter or slow down our forces. She said the ships would instantly go into blackout and redirect all activity into defensive/attack maneuvers against the aggressors with our planes and their planes locked and loaded against one another. A click away from WWIII. It's madness, and you can't expect to put madness into a manageable little box that we can all deal with easily. [/QUOTE]
