      The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I’ve noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

        That’s true.

        I have stories that I tell people I don’t know well, and there are stories that only my sister, wife, and best friend have heard, and only once I had enough to drink.

        The guys who didn’t see shit are the ones who brag about having to kill a child suicide bomber or other shit they’ve made up. I wasn’t in, but I’ve worked with and otherwise known plenty. The braggarts are full of shit.
