My uncle was a Marine in WW2, and I never heard him talk about those times. I can only imagine what it was like: he served on Iwo Jima, where he received a battlefield promotion from Sergeant to Major.

I think a lot of people out there were reluctant to talk much and PTSD wasn't understood but probably common. In my uncle's case he came back weighing nothing and broken. Took years to get back to something like normality I gather.
