text: My father served in Vietnam, has never talked about it and never will.  This is not uncommon for Vietnam Vets.\n\nMy suggestion would be not to push it.  If he wants to talk he will, otherwise just be respectful of him and honor the service that he provided to this country.\n\nThere is but one thing that sets my father off and that is the Liberal a$$holes that have no respect for our country or the men that have served it.  Men like Kerry who spat upon them when they returned.
