My ex Father in Law was in Viet Nam. He never talked about it much. One year he came home drunk off his ass and fell into the Christmas tree, just smashed the hell out of all the presents and broke the fake tree in half. He duct taped it and nobody said much. We were talking afterward. He said he found some old Marine stuff and was thinking about his buddies, so went to drink himself into oblivion- didn't even remember falling into the tree or driving home that night.
His squad got pinned down. He said he hid nose high in a swamp for three days while his buddies were slowly tortured. I can still hear them screaming sometimes, he said. Also added that was not the worst thing he went through. |
We never hid in a swamp be we had more than our fair share of terrible. I get it man, I was so strung out on opiates for years after I'm surprised I didn't die from that.
