[quote="Bazooka_Joe":f20fa]Wow, that sucks man. Like I said before, I really wish I could have a sitdown with a vet and just talk with him about everything that went on then, not just the war, but how america was then too.[/quote:f20fa]

Joe, my father didn't really start to tell me about his war experiences until about 2 years ago. Before that all I knew is he was a sargent, fought in the Battle of the Buldge. When he did start to tell me some of the details of the things he did and saw(B0B is close), I realized why he is so against war now... Don't get me wrong he was proud to fight for our country in WWII, he just thinks that we need to find a better way to resolve or differnces.
