Mine was a Vietnam combat vet who didn't try to dodge draft like so many. The war fricked him up bad and he came back a violent sob who was very lucky he wasnt put in prison (or a mental hospital) for decades.

He was always angry and violent but he also always held a job, never missed work and made a good salary. (He was not a deadbeat like some other troubled vets). We had a nice home, new cars and never went hungry. I cannot complain about him in that regard.

However, I really hated him for some things he did. When he died I went through a range of emotions. It was tough.

A lot of this, except my Dad was in Korea.
