re: Relatives that served in World War 2

My father was in the navy in the Pacific. An uncle served in the army also in the Pacific. Both hated the Japanese until they died.

Same as my Dad. "Those son-of-a-bitches stole four years of my life."

The funny thing is my uncle actually ended up liking the Germans, but disliking the French. I've read this was not uncommon for soldiers, postbellum, in the ETO.
