It’s good you’re young. That was another thing that really, really stood out with me over there, older people, it’s no place for anybody. Even people that are in their late twenties, that’s no place for them, if they’re married and got a home. It’s no place for them because they can’t let it go. It’s over there with them and lots of times you wish they’d take them back, don’t put them up with you at all. You didn’t want them out, especially when things were really bad. You were getting artillery and you were getting shot at and that. And they’d go into the home, their family, their kids. It demoralized the younger people along with it but that was one thing that I found about, the war is not for older people.
