re: If you had to fight in WW2- Europe or Pacific

Lots of similarities here (I see Kingwood in your bio, too )

According to my grandmother, Pawpaw was a heavy drinker after the war when they first met, but she put her little foot down hard enough where he kicked it if he wanted to marry her. Bless her.

I often think about how many men were affected by the war, and they came home to lead somewhat normal lives. PTSD was considered nutting up, and no one wanted that stigma. I'm glad that the culture has changed and men (and women alike) can receive the help they truly need.
