Same here Steve
My Dad also fought in Korea.He never talked much about it because,he said,it brought back too many bad memories.I asked him once "Dad,how many Chinese did you kill in Korea?" He told me "Son,all I know is that I shot my rifle quite a few times and saw quite a few fall afterwards." I said,"Well Dad,that's good." He replied to me,"Rob,I guess it was,but however many I did kill,you must remember,he had a family just like I did."He also said,"Could we never speak of that God-awful place again?"I agreed.Only other thing about Korea that I ever heard him say is that it was "the coldest **** place he had ever been to". Right up 'til the day he died,if he was asleep,if you were to wake him up,you better shake his foot otherwise you'd get a fist in your face because of the war.Rest in peace Dad.
