In my experience most real combat vets don't talk about it much.
Sometimes they'll talk between themselves, but not with outsiders.
My dad still won't. My Korean War Vet uncles won't either.

Sometimes they'll talk between themselves, but not with outsiders. Media & the hollyweirdo's continually rewrite history. It gets tedious hearing, 'hey, that's just like this movie I saw once where this army guy .....etc, etc,'. So unless there's a pair of 44d's staring back at me with lustful eyes, the conversation ends.

My dad a WWII vet didn't talk about his time in the Pacific until a few months before his death from a rapid growing cancer. Hubby's uncle was part of Merrill's Marauders original unit and only talke about it when he got rip roaring drunk.
