YOU can now. Dazzle the ladies with stories of being comrade-in-arms with General Butt Naked, and regularly feasting on the roasted flesh and sauteed organs of your enemies
I used to listen to the war stories of my relatives who came to the US as refugees. The stories were insane. My uncle told me stories of little kids at checkpoints with AK-47's. One of them smacked the shyt out of an old man.
He would also tell he how he narrowly escaped death at a checkpoint. My other uncle told me about mortar rounds in Operation Octopus ( shelling the capital city full of civilians from 8 sides). How he walked out of a building minutes before it was flattened. Or how you would have to leave your home as enemy troops approached high on drugs.
My cousin who was about 6 yrs old at the time told me how they were dodging AK47 rounds.
Grandma told me that on the Kabala River people were drowning trying to cross the border in these tiny canoes. One of my uncles died by blunt trauma from rebel forces.
I once asked my uncle if he was afraid of civil unrest and economic collapse in the USA. He said no. He told me he already lived it during the Liberian civil war and that nothing can prepare you for it. He said it is nothing like how you will imagine it. He said you will just figure it out.
