He had nightmares almost every night.


My adopta dad was an expert with a flame thrower and served in WWII. Mom told me he had
some scary bad nightmares.

I have no problems understanding why. US Army 1943-63.

I think that nowadays it is called "PTSD". I recall visiting my
grandparents, he would scream, at night, on top of his lungs, "TANKS!"
and that sort of thing. I can only imagine that he had some very scary
moments.

The proper response to this is to scream "YOU'RE WELCOME!"
