Yeah, my paternal grandpa's story isn't as harrowing, He served in the Aleutians, paved runways. But he also spent time on warships and watched them sink around him, and there were bombing raids. And he went a full stint 38-45
Amusingly his most lasting trauma was shitty rubber chicken. Never ate a chicken dish of any kind after service. Not a piece of KFC, not a chicken parmesan in the finest restaurant, not a chicken pot pie.
