Yes he is a Hong Kong war veteran. His name is Ralph McLean and lives in Calgary Alberta. He's a good man.

My great grandfather was a HK war vet. The only person he talked about his experiences with was my dad. He never ate rice again when he came back.

Wow, what a badass. It's awful that anyone has to endure horrors like that, but I'm forever grateful to the men and women who enlist that risk having to go through them so the rest of us don't have to.

level 2

Wow, I feel so naive and ignorant. I didn't even know about this.

Thanks for sharing that is amazing🇨🇦

Wow... when you can see every rib and the sternum you know they've been suffering. It's like theyre just being held on the brink of death through starvation and malnutrition, and on top of that you'll have beatings and torture. Poor sods.

Man I bet your grandfather was a badass

Jeez. I'm not even brave enough to go into my basement after 9 p.m. Good for him.

level 2

I was afraid to go into the basement at all when I had one

level 2

I had one of those houses on pillar growing up in Florida. Underneath was a "basement". My Grandma was big into making clown dolls. She made on of her dolls in particular human size. My Grandma made these clowns kinda in a 1940's-1950's fashion. So some of them were old and very creepy looking. Well Grandma had to go in a home so mom decided to store my grandmas prized clown dolls in that basement. My mom decided to string up the life size clown up on a rafter. Juuuust right behind the light which was pull string. It was very very dark in there. So me 7 years old needed to find something out of this basement, walk far into it just waving my arms up in the air looking for the string to pull the light on, and as soon as I did the giant clown dolls slowly turned around to face me. I ran out so fast. I don't think I ever got what I was trying to find. I'll tell the story about the grandmas venqulatrist dolls Mom liked to keep in her room while she worked nights for another day.

I wont go into attics, my garage attic roof door is open from the cable guy, its my only attic door...

I dont go into my garage now because of it, if I need the garage i go outside then around, open the big garage door and only at day time.

If I HAVE to walk past the attic door. I look at it the entire time...

Im 33

Ours was going outside in the country with no lights to close the chicken coop "so they didn't get eaten". Nothing worse than hoping whatever was out there wouldn't get you too, then approaching the dark opening while hoping it wasn't already inside, then the panicked sprint back after slamming the door hoping it didn't catch you.

level 2

Of course not! Did you see the size of that spider?! If he wants the basement, he can keep it

level 2

You are brave enough to go out in the rain.

level 2

I'm scared to walk to my room after watching Forensic files

level 2

To be fair to you though, you dont have machine gun nests and snipers giving cover fire when you go in the basement.

level 2

When the need arises I have no doubt you could step up bro.

Jokes aside these men weren't super heroes and they had irrational fears just like we do. That's what makes them so brave. They put these fears aside because they had no choice. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to go fight a war at a young age without much choice in the matter. War is a dirty business and it's usually those who have little say in world affairs who shoulder the burden.

level 2

You also haven't killed people for the words and ideas of someone else
