wounded twice in Vietnam as a Marine.
Thank you for your service, sir. My uncle was a FO in the Army in Vietnam. Wounded at Dak To in ‘67 and was also awarded the Bronze Star and Medal of Valor.

Europe any day.
My father was a Marine in the Pacific Theater. The only information I was ever able to get out of him involving the war was that he once saw a shark while at New Caledonia. Pretty much the only subject he would refuse to talk about.
More reasons why I would choose Europe.
1. You had underground resistance movements in Europe. No one in the history of Hollywood was ever cast in a role as a member of the Guadalcanal Resistance.
2. No typhoons you had to ride out stuck on a giant boat with nothing but 500 miles of water around you in Europe.
3. To the best of my knowledge no one fighting in Europe was ever eaten by a shark.
4. I was an average swimmer in my youth when the only thing strapped to me were my swim trunks. I'm not really interested in anything that results in me being surrounded by water that is over my head.
