[QUOTE=Whidbey78;910341It's been my experience that the people who tell a lot of stories(with the exception of the funny stories) are usually full of it. [/QUOTE]

Been my experience as well. Of all the family members I had in Nam, only one talks about it at all, and his favorite story is about how he (in the US Army) led a raid against a US Marine compound that was being moved. The brought back a jeep full of extra mattresses, dry blankets and the such.
