I once asked my late father about men crying. He paused for quite a while before answering. He then told me about the men he interviewed coming home from the last of the WWII island battles in the Pacific. He was an official US Army War Correspondent and was on the Stars and Stripes staff in Honolulu.

They ALL cried when telling their stories, and of their fallen comrades, and how they were not heroes at all. Just doing their jobs and that the real heroes were left back on the islands or five miles deep in the ocean, never waking up from their long sleep.

These were Navy Cross, Medal of Honor winners, etc. You know. Real men. Real, brave men who cried when reliving those horrible scenes in their minds.

Bottom line? Indeed, real men cry.
