The Marines in the Pacific face hot temps and no water at times. They fought in unforgiving terrain. They also faced an enemy that was not willing to surrender. Had it not been for the A-bomb the nips may not have surrendered and many more lives would have been lost.
I will say the Marines on the Pacific front had it worse.
Disease
Brutal enemy
jungle and guerilla style battles
tactics from both sides that got medieval at times
