My grandad in law was in the Navy in WW2 and was sunk twice. He lost his 2 best mates at close hand. He was a wonderful man but refused to talk much about his experience. God knows what he went through and I can only admire the fact that he came back home and raised his family in some kind of normal way. He must have carried so much on his shoulders. He's a hero of mine.
I think the problem with this thread is in the title. There is no such thing as a good war.
I would like to think that if it was required, I would do my duty and be brave and useful but the idea of my boys having to do that scares the crap out of me.
