I definitely agree Schubert.
In addition to fighting a war, men had to go through many other hardships that are not mentioned.
My uncle had a nervous breakdown in Burma because of the snakes. There was a snake that is now extinct, called a "Bamboo Python" that looked exactly like a bamboo pole. My uncle saw a bamboo pole on his bunk, he picked it up to throw it away, and the thing bit him. That sent him over the edge. That last snake was one snake too many.
