I used to ask my grandfather(R.I.P) about it, but he didn't seem to like talking about it.

I'm not doing this to make a buck. I have a GREAT respect for military personel. I even wanted to join once. So could you please stop acting like I'm some jerk trying to get rich off of peoples hardships, I'm getting a degree for that part(money).

I fly combat missions and many are in support of the heroes on the ground. I am not qualified to give an answer about ground combat personally, but I have been with numerous guys that have been there. They don't talk about it even among themselves, they exchange knowing looks with one another, and seem almost telepathic, knowing that their own thoughts are unique, but are shared by one and all that have ever been in combat, from the ancient club and sword warriors to the present. They are changed in a way that I don't think anyone not having that experience can really get a handle on. Just my thoughts.

Terrifying. Exhilarating. Heart-wrenching. Euphoric. That about sums it up. Specifics are not warranted. If you have not been there, it is something that really cannot be conveyed or understood.
If you want to know what it is like, I recommend reading the following book. It is a touching and fairly accurate portrayal of combat
"The Forgotten Soldier" By Guy Sajer

A greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for his brothers.
Most Veterans won't talk about combat. Too many bad memories. Respect their silence.

Most war veterans wont speak of what they saw in combat. It's too painful to think of, and sometimes it's best for some to not know what goes on.

Take a "tip" from your grandfather- & be "carefull" who you ask. Alot of guys who see their Buddies die in the "heat of battle" - are alittle reluctant to describe what they saw- to someone who might be looking to "make a buck" off their description. ... And can you blame them???

A person who has never been to combat, could never fully understand what it feels like to be in it.

perhaps there's a reason.
