Agreed..... Sadly he now hangs his head with the weight of his own dishonor.
My dad served as a sniper for 3 years in WWI..he was wounded twice in the battles around Hill60 and decorated for bravery..they read the burial service over him twice and fetched his mother to his bedside..but he survived.
After discharge from hospital he tried to find work as a welder..for two years he got up every morning at 5am and went and stood outside the factory gates hoping to be selected for a days work. Usually he came home empty handed.
One day he came home and threw all his service medals in the garbage..my mom told me that this was the only time she ever saw him cry!
