My father is 73 now. I want to know all I can about his life. He will not discuss ANYTHING about the war with me though. Only things he has ever said was he was in Korea and was a paratrooper. Anytime I try to ask anything else at all, he tells me he won't discuss it, or changes the subject. I know war and what goes on is beyond what I can imagine, but it makes me sad to know I can't know anything about such a big part of his life. The war changed him so much my mother said, made him quiet and withdrawn all these years. Can another military man explain to me why he can't share even simple things? I know this is a painful question, but I hate for him to die taking those things to the grave. Any other vets who refuse to discuss, and why?
