One of my Dad's is a former Marine. Vietnam era. Went to Parris Island summer of 1961. One of his Drill Instructors (I forget the name though he told me) was a crusty 1000 yard stare Gunnery Sergeant who was at Chosin. Snow white head of hair. In his 30's. When the recruits were no longer whale shit around week 8, he sat them all down in the barracks one night and told them the stories about dragging as many dead as they could through the snow while fighting their way past divisions of Chinese in sub zero temperatures. Ammo ran out and so they were fighting with Kbars and hand to hand by the end. After knifing some chinaman to death, it was back to dragging your friends dead bodies through the snow. He told them that the first night they were encircled and the real nasty fighting started, that when the sun went down he had light brown hair, when the sun came up it had gone stark white. That's sheer terror.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Dad said he was the most legit man he ever met. Now go look at your average skinny jean wearing mid-20's fuckface. Weep for our future. -
And he never wore a life jacket again

There was the recent American Experience on PBS that was great too. Think we had a thread on it a few years back.GrundleStiltzkin said:
