I hope that I would not be a lily-livered coward if push
comes to shove & war becomes inevitable. - My dad was a
combat veteran of WWII - N. Africa, Italy, & finally
Germany. - I don’t romanticize war; but in a way, I guess
that’s best as the killing is bloody & it is real.
Sounds like your dad could have been in 7th Army like my father.

“It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.” Robert E Lee to James Longstreet, on seeing a Union charge repelled at the Battle of Fredericksburg
