My moms man turned 18 on the plane to vietnam. Did two tours with the A/B Rangers.
My dad was already in grad. school at UMKC when he joined the Army and went to vietnam. ill never forget he always said he wasnt gung-ho at 20/21 but that the young kids were.
My dad was a super hard drinker, a legend really. he died at 51. I cant shake it that he drank that hard because of the intense combat he saw.
Same thing with my moms man now, was a hard drinker,met mom sought help but still has his own cross to bear.
God bless em both.
witha war on its something to strongly consider steering him in a diffrent direction.-JMO-
