[QUOTE="Calman, post: 573229, member: 3341"] Cal, my wife says that I have changed more with each military conflict that I have been involved in. We were engaged when I went to Panama for Operation Just Cause. She said I was less outgoing when I got back. The Desert Storm came along and she said that I changed again, more reclusive and quiet. Then Gulf War 2 came and I spent a year there during the worst of it. I know that changed me. I am not mean or disgruntled just more laid back and less inclined to go to parties, movies and laugh as much as before. I try to tell her that I feel like there is allot I need to tell her but I can't figure out how. That is how I feel but I don't know what it is that I would want to tell her :cry2: I know that don't make any sense. The good news is my once hot temper has turned into a more laid back guy. It takes allot to get my dander up but now when it is I am more calculating and extreme in my response.[/quote] Hoss, I know your feelings exactly to the tee. In combat you become more imune(sp) to things that would be just devestating for the average person to believe who has never seen combat. Now in the here and now and back in the real life I don't think anyone that's never been in the same situation would even believe some of the stories I'd have that could be told even if I wanted to. And on the other hand some of the going's on I would not dare speak of anyhow. But trust me Hoss, it will work out the older you get. I have learned you can't forget it but you can learn to live with it. Hope this makes sence. Cal [/QUOTE]
