hm. my dad lived it every day for 4 years and he never liked to talk about it and had nightmares for the next 65 years until he died.
Seems like the guys that did it in WWII didn't like to talk about what they had to do at all. Guess people are different now.
It's a different war. The average Marine grunt on an Afghani deployment these days may have to engage an enemy target two or three times, and in a four year term averages only 2-3 confirmed kills.
My grandfather has flashbacks and nightmares of the Korean war to this day. He spent 24 years and retired a Lt. Col with the Corps, and has had issues ever since.
The WW's and Korea and Vietnam were WAY worse than riding around in a humvee in the desert with far superior weaponry than the enemy and calling in air support any time you get into shit
