Thats why I just laughed when Rip told him, "you don't know what work is, do you? No, of course you don't". Rip has no fucking clue what Kayce knows about work.

And that’s why he loves Monica. She understands some secrets don’t need to be shared but healed and understood.

A good scene for those whom ask veterans about war. Or for specific stories. Be careful what you wish for. Especially if you really care for or love the veteran in question. And always remember. We’re not monsters. But, sometimes we had to do monstrous things in order to survive or keep our own alive.

In 2004 at a hasty checkpoint a woman came running up screaming and crying towards our cordoned area with a bloody misshapen baby. Per the ROE at the time she was cut down after not heeding out warnings. Turned out the baby was already dead and had been rigged with a mortar round in its body. I remember all of it like it happened an hour ago.
one of my worst days on this planet.

My dad said he watched a 7-9 year old boy pick up an AK and start firing off rounds at his group. He and his buddy had to shoot him down and he said that boys face replays in his mind over and over, and he says when he dies, he’ll go to hell and that little boy will be waiting for him. War is terrible. It does terrible things to the best peolle

[Canadian_E]

The best thing John did was stay silent, he had nothing to relate too, it makes (in my opinion from what I’ve heard) most vets feel devalued in a sense, unless you’ve taken a life, “innocent” especially, there’s no comparison for that specific pain

War is hell..
I had family in Vietnam Iraq and Afghanistan that told me their share of stories that haunt them to this day

[m.j.mbrooks]

My grandpa served in Japan in WWII and he only told my mom one story about his time over there having to help remove dead bodies from a train wreck. My dad’s mom grew up in Liverpool during the Blitz and would tell stories of her mom throwing herself over her and little brothers and older sister and telling them over and over to keep quiet while they hid under the staircase and listened to the bombs fall around them every night. She went to sleep not knowing if their house or her dad and older brother or any of them would even still be there the next day. And one time when she came to visit, the siren from the local fire department went off and she froze and collapsed in her seat in terror saying how it sounded like the air raid sirens that would go off during the Blitz. Wars leave terrible scars on those who survive them.

Such a good scene, amazing portrayal of war stories and how it effects veterans

[HardNorthOutdoors]

When I saw this scene, i totally connected the dots with season 1 when he tells Monica's relatives about his shadow box of medals, "you won't believe what I had to do to get that one".

[rclines]

It took my brother 12 years, a divorce, and then finding his true soul mate and having the support system of both strong families before my brother was right after he got out of the army and 3 12+ month tours in Iraq. He let 1 story slip to me and my other brother once, and that was enough. He won’t talk about it other than telling goofy stories about base pranks, and we don’t ask.

It's a different battlefield. You're not looking across NO MANS LAND. You're looking across a living room

[MartinAZGaming]

I used to volunteer and an American legion when I was younger. I never got to serve so this was my way of helping my country. I learned quick that you don't ask about what they have been through. You just thank them for their service and move on. They have seen horror no person should ever have to see. I work as a MA now and whenever VETS come in, I talk to them and even through happy eyes you can still see the pain. I was doing an ECG on this old Korean War vet, and I was honored he was comfortable enough to share one of his storied with me. I didn't judge. I didn't criticize. I just listened and took his words in. In the end I told him that I thank him for his service and sacrifice. I'd like to think I made a difference in his life for a moment. Thank you to all our Vets, those who did and didn't come home.

[briancastonguay]

Kinda wish they would do a story bout Kayce military days

[andrewwillis]

Thanks for sharing. This single scene means more than most know. And ever should.

[thebernice]

I learned early that you don't ask combat vets for war stories. My grandpa lost his entire right arm in WWII. Never spoke about it to anyone as far as I know. He'd talk about how hot training in Texas was or how they wore their uniforms, but never anything about combat. I found out after he died that he was a replacement troop during the Allied push to Monte Cassino. A German artillery shell landed right next to him and shredded his arm. He had to walk back to the aid station by himself and was nearly dead when he got there. He never saw the enemy, and they likely didn't see him, still the war took so much from him.
Those few hours didn't define his life. He started a business, got married, and had kids after the war.

"And in a tenth of a second I made it".

[isaiahhernandez]

This is why I get pissed that veterans don’t get the respect they deserved. They go to war to protect us and they have to do unspeakable things to do it but when they come back some people don’t help them. I have much respect for the men and women who fight for our freedom. And to any soldier reading this all I have to say is, Thank you for your service.

[midnightwriter]

My grandfather was in Korea as an artillerymen. I have pics of him standing next to his Howitzer with the sea and mountains behind him. The one story he told me as an adult... Never asked him again.Thank you to all Vets and servicemen and women. War is hell.

[purple_puffz]

This scene was absolutely riveting, especially coming from a military family. When I was very young and still very naive I had asked my grandfather who was a vietnam veteran that one question that I know now you should never ask and I i will never forget his response as long as I live, he looked at me straight in my eyes and stoically said "those are things we dont talk about" then turned around and walked away. To all veterans and active service members I thank you for your service.
