That was pretty much unbelievable because how many of us have a kindly old grandpa who lives in a white house with a picket fence around it. Most of the people I know from WW I through the Gulf War don't ever talk about their war experiences with "civilians". That's why they have those meeting of ex soldiers and the buddies. They like to remember their war experiences between them but clam up when civilians are around. Anyway, I liked the movie.
