A guy that works for me was in the service but he doesn't talk about it.
A couple of co-workers tell he he was a sniper and a really good one and saw lots of really serious stuff in Iraq, and spent several months in a hospital and darn near died from battle wounds.
He shaves his head and has a huge scar from his eye up to the top of his noggin. All he's ever said to me (with a smile) is he got a purple heart for it and it wasn't a good trade.

I'd be willing to bet that if he ran across a guy pretending to be a military something or other and was lying, he'd tear him a new one.

Seems like the ones who sacrificed the most talk about it the least.
