Generally these people do not talk. When they do I am suspicious.

I have met a Seal I know for a fact was a Navy Seal. He wore no insignia, never talked, never bragged.

My best friends twin brother drove a truck in Vietnam. He eventually was hospitalized and found a job in the country away from people. When he saw people cross the street he would floor his car. Luckily no one was hurt when he returned he had to quit driving where there were pedestrians. I drove him several places, he explained what happened in Vietnam and what they did to survive.

War is dirty business everywhere, it is not noble or clean, many who survive this experience think differently than people who have not experienced war. They would be alien to most right wing chicken hawks. There are also people who enjoy this life style I am not sure that is necessarily a political stance.
