Some men just want to forget the time they spent in the service, this seems to be true mostly for men who saw combat of some kind. If they just forget it, it keeps the nightmares at bay. You did nothing wrong, you just had no idea he would react his way. Try offering to donate that one to a VFW hall in his name, and ask him what he would like better? IMHO.
