Weigel21 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Never served either, couldn't due to medical reasons, so I can't relate in any way. Nevertheless, thank you to all who have served. To keep on topic, I have known many who have been deployed and seen combat. There are two guys that get real jumpy around any sort of loud noises and I feel they could loose it at any moment. Neither have ever talked about what they did or seen, and I've never felt I had a right to ask. None of the others seem to have any issues and one kid was deployed to Iraq and had an RPG take out his HMMWV, in which he and one other were the only survivors. He still has shrapnel in his left leg and walks with a slight limp. Perhaps he's just one crazy SOB, but he loves the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLuejoules Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 No problems here, I was medevac and saw a lot of stuff nobody should have to see. Everyone reacts differently though. IG: devinthydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
