My father has killed many men...
It is really strange to look at my aging father and realize he has taken the lives of many men in his lifetime. Although he has never talked about it, he was a distinguished and highly decorated career soldier...Korean Conflict (1 tour), Bay of Pigs "advisor" and Viet Nam vet (2 tours)...3 purple hearts, DSC, bronze stars, silver star, oak leaf clusters, yadadadada. Only gleaned this when looking at some DD214's a while back. Ranger. Airborne. Sniper. 1st Cav. Infantry. And I suspect some involvement with the CIA along the way.
And judging by his various training and assignments, he obviously was up close and personal with our various enemies over the years. Perhaps it explains some of the rage I witnessed over the years.
Just truly weird looking at this now gentle elderly kind man and wonder who he really is.
