For the first few weeks..sometimes months when my husband comes home, he is in this weird mode. Hes himself but never really relaxed. The slightest noise trips him up. And he can get pretty irrate real quick. Not with me but with strangers. Super anxious. But after a while he slowly gets back into the groove. He has always told me he doesn't feel bad for what he has had to do. I honestly don't either. Its just the nature of war I guess.

Maybe this is the only place they would feel comfortable...with no one to see or judge them...my step-dad and uncles never talked about it...I've talked about things here i don't care to talk about with 'real' people, maybe some vets would feel the same. If you don't like a thread, then go away, don't call someone a moron for a thread topic.

My dad was the same with me he never talked about what happpened to him in WWII and Korea.
But then I went to Vietnam for 18 months then and only then was I alowed to hear the story that made my Dad the man I grew to love and respect.
Seems he only killed 1 Korean he was stealing food for his famlie and Dad shot him and heard himsay he was sorry before he died in the rain.
Wish I'd killed a hundred, he'd say as if it might have made it easier to live on with the memories..
My self when my son's came home with their draft cards for ME to sign I tore them up and told them to tell their teachers to talk to me if they had a poblem with it.
To this date noone knows my story.

Like I said, my step-dad never talked about in much ( Vietnam )...but I heard enough to learn at a young age anything can happen.I used to try and imagine at that age being in the jungle,or annywhere...just picked-up out of your life, half assed trained, and sent to kill or die...with most of them not even having a clue why.
He did two tours, later in life he told me a few stories when we were shitfaced drunk...he cried,and I never seen this man shed a tear over anything before that night.
Someting happened there with drugs, a bunch of guys got stoned on opium maybe,IDK, but my step-dad didn't do it...and almost everone got killed the next morning except the sober ones. He's not against pot anymore, and is a stone cold alcholoic, but he hates drugs becaues of that day.He hates everyyone.
Sorry to here about your past, lifes a bitch.Peace

Curious why so many people seem to think war is inevitable... "It's just human nature" is not a justifiable defense of war. If you think it is, think how you would feel if your family was to die in war and someone told you that, "it's just the nature of war I guess".
