It must be a weird fascination of the connection between people i know and a story they have about a specific encounter, or just a general overview of the conflict they served in, but i really enjoy listening to people's war stories, and stories about combat experiences or anything of the sort.
Call me cliche, but i get the most vivid mental images when i talk to people about their respective roles and whatnot. Namely my granddad (fought in Korea), but young and old alike.
Any stories out there to share? I ask because i'm sure there are some vets on here with histories that no book can hold, and i'd be honored to hear them.
And if i offend anyone, i apologize, i'm only looking to read what you have to say, i'm not prodding anyone specific to respond. Sometime's i'm just not too good with words, though.
