My father served two tours Vietnam army infantry was going make a career but lost leg. The only time he ever spoke of it was night before I left for benning he told me of listening post that got snatched and he was very graphic and he said they went after them but they were used as bait by the Vc his actual words 29 hours later they recovered them after a 29 hour firefight just their bodies. He told me you do not have take the oath tomorrow but if you do ok I'll respect that. Today our son in law is former naval corpsman who walked with marine infantry in Iraq two deployments. And a guy our other daughter is dating left a leg in Afghanistan he was a scout. Both of these men are fine people, and I respect them as my father. And I consider myself lucky that I never had to fight in a war.
