re: WWII: Would You Choose the Pacific or Europe?

Something else to consider: in the pacific, you were on an operation for a few weeks up to a month or two, the back to a real area to red and retrain for a few months. A guy in Europe who went ashore on D day would be in combat for nearly a year without a break.

Not necessarily. Combat wasn't constant and was more like a little here and there (little meaning not months) and there was R&R. Your post, while more or less true in a sense is also misleading. But you are correct in that they didn't go back like in the PTO.
