We lump everything under the banner of the Second World War and then portray it as brave soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy fighting a determined foe where it was just a bunch of young men on both sides with a job to do full of honor and glory. But the war in Northwest Europe was just one war.

The Pacific War was a savage kill-or-be-killed affair. The German-Soviet War the same. I don't know how anyone fought on Iwo Jima or at Stalingrad without losing their goddamn mind
