I just wanted to thank everyone who called Bullshit on you, BG. My uncle left home and didn’t return for four years. No ‘leave’. Period.
We have less soldier with more tours than the GG.
12 million fighting, compared with the limited amount today.
It’s not what the GG went up against but what we face today.
WW2 was easily defined in it’s scope. Compared with the todays no front conflict
I didn’t say one was greater or harder than the other. But they are different.
Hi freema - and, your uncle was the rule, not the exception in WWII. My thanks to him and your family.
Thank your uncle for his service.
My Dad had to ride in a troop ship to the Pacific Theater. Did not return until after ( well after) VJ day and there was no leave. He had pictures from an r&r he got ——10 days ( all at once) at the rear. He laughed about it
