Default Re: Veterans "oral" histories

My father in law was in Viet Nam in the late 60's. Nice guy, very quiet. Likes to fish and cruise around in his 71 Old cutlass convertible. For some reason he won't go into, he does not eat chicken anymore, since he came back. No one in the family ever got an explanation for it, either. Maybe one day he'll talk. I have always had an interest in WWII armament of the allied and axis powers. At age 8 I could name every piece of military hardware in its native language. Rather bizarre now that I think about it. Probably a past life infringing on the current one!
