yeah, I knew my uncle was a prisoner from my grandmother, so I asked him.... he didn't really go into any details... just mentioned a few things over the course of several years ...
my daddy joined the service, in WWII, when he was 16 with false ID... went to the pacific... never really mentioned that much and only a few episodes total from all his experiences... one from Vietnam and one from Turkey and one from Korea.... I have no idea what the fuck they were doing in Turkey but I have seen a few pics... and we did live in Gibraltar when I was a little kid...
my step daddy was an army medic in WWII... Germany... never said much about it... I've also spoken with guys from the army corps of engineers about building the roads and landing strips in the pacific
