I and an older man were filling out forms in a doctors office years ago. I made some joke about lying about my age. He said “I lied about my age to join the Marines. I turned eighteen at Chosin Reservoir.” I said something like “Damn. What was that like?” He said “Well, there wasn’t any cake.” Then he changed the subject.
