I believe that too. But when you say different, do you think his experience there didn't help to shape him into a better man?

It seemed to take my dad a while, and I know it wasn't easy for him, and probably still isnt at times, PTSD, etc. But if your dad is like mine, he probably FOUND a lot of himself there as well, and there's probably A LOT of good things about your dad he might not have without that experience.
