Sounds like quite a tale, and a tough bastard. War is hell, no way to get around that, and I doubt anyone ever comes back home from war feeling normal. At least your mate did make it back, and hopefully gradually getting better.

Coming back from war feeling normal isn't really a thing although it can depend on what one goes through when deployed. My mate has a very small tolerance for fools, noisy people, kids, people who talk to much...Most people really. But he's a good mate and we have a laugh when we're hanging out; Loads of good stories get lied about.
It's nice to hear one's laughter, especially after having gone through harrowing experiences. I don't think I've ever sat down with a vet, and hearing out their stories. I'm always intrigued to hear their tales.
Time spent with a military veteran who saw active service is often time well spent.
Well said! Plus, letting them tell their stories, and pains could lead you to helping them out mentally. It always helps to talk to someone.
Exactly right. Military types are sometimes easy-going and fun, but beneath their can be a darker side. War isn't easy.
