Were so spoiled today that we don't want to remember a bad relationship, asking someone to bring a past involving seeing and killing others. My grandpa was in the war as well, he was in the English Navy. My grandma gave me his war medals, I'm not 100% sure what they mean since I'm more familiar with the German side of the war.
People's who've been in wars are still people. And people today aren't that different from those in the past. Human nature doesn't change that much in so short a span of time.
Quite true, I remember being a teen and asking a Vietnam vet about his war experiences. All I got out of him was "It's quite rude to ask about it, those are places in my mind I never want to return again."
