My grandfather is Algerian and was a soldier during the Algerian War.
During the war he took my grandma and my mum to France. He was often hanging around in bars around bad guys. Anyway, one night my mom who was 12 at the time wakes up in the middle of the night, choking. She had difficulties to breath. After a few seconds, she went to my grandma crying and begging for help, screaming "DAD HAS BEEN KILLED, HE IS IN DANGER!" My grandma sent my mum back to sleep.
The next day they got a call from the hospital.
My grandfather got into a fight and head butted a guy in the mouth (he still has the guy's teeth scar on his forehead). The guy cut his throat open later that night.
Somehow my grandfather survived and still has the scar from the knife.
