After talks with 2 uncles who fought I got the sense that because of the hatred (and fear) of the enemy in WWII they were very focused on killing the enemy and actually
wanted to fight. Every time they think of the friends they lost or even saw die they call them heroes, the only day they tear up is on today's date.
A third uncle was really pissed off when the war ended the day he set sail to go overseas,even know by that time it looked good for a win,he still wanted a piece of the action.
Today's soldiers don't hate nor do they have fear of an enemy actually taking over their country. Stakes were far higher in WWII.
