I'm sure the servicemen coming home will have/are having the same experience as my grandfather from the women in their life,

If you're referring to your grandfather returning home after World War II, I seriously doubt that comparison is anywhere near the truth.

Please explain that last comment. Do you not agree that women on the homefront, although not as sheltered as in the past, tend to be clueless as to what men (or now women as well) have to do during wartime, while they are on the homefront taking the kids to school, going to the mall, etc.?

The reaction of the women in my grandfather's life was all too typical of that of XX Chromosome carrier's towards men when they return from war.
