It’s all fun and games when you aren’t the the poor bastard fightin’ and dying.
N’est-ce pas?

My great grandfather: 4 years in WWI, called up again in 1939, sent to the Somme for the 3rd time.

My grandfather: called back in 1939 with 3 kids and sick wife.

My great uncle: called back with one eye already missing.

Two uncles: Algerian War.

One Uncle: American Indochina War

My brother: called up for deployment in the Gulf War, unit told to stand down at the railhead.

You're really barking up the wrong tree.
