my dad was a corpsman in the Pacific. Saw duty on a couple of ships and land battles. He never talks about the war other than a few very brief conversations. Mostly that he was a "runner" who picked up pieces and couldn't do much other than give shots of morphine. Lots of morphine.
Wars sucks. It should be avoided. Those who prattle on and on about the war usually never saw any action except at the px. Those who I've known (my dad and his friends) just don't want to talk about it. I can only imagine, and he hoped that I never would have to experience it.
God speed to those that fought. And a hope that the politicians think twice before sending more to follow.
