My grandfather served in the Korean War while his brother serve in the Vietnam War. Both were marines and faced heavy fighting however my grandfather never speaks about the war at all while my uncle is a bit more open (not much but he will answer some questions). Of both of their friends who served respectively, the Korean War veterans are extremely tight lipped while the Vietnam veterans are somewhat more talkative. Do you have any perspective on this apparent change between wars and veterans?
