I believe letters home from war would be far more likely to provide a sanitised(group average, not the graphic outliers) perspective on war. I know with my personal anecdotal perspectives and those of my peers we simply didn’t want our family/friends at home to worry. So often “everything is fine”. My thoughts mirror those of several others here in the often insane absurdity and dichotomy of conflict. Contemporary “three block war” conflict seems to be increasing the likelihood that one person may be exposed to horrific and lasting trauma while another within the same grid square may be enjoying ice cream while laughing with friends. Polar opposite experiences in quite close proximity.
