My experience as well. I’ve encountered quite a few old WWII battle veterans in my business and most of them have been reticent about their experiences, and those who have been more forthcoming, exceptionally modest. But one man sticks in my memory. He would frequently ramble in agonizing detail about battles, blood, the horror, the noise, with tears streaming down his face and a look of shock as if fresh from the battle. Poor guy was still tormented. And he rarely engaged in normal conversation, but when he was recounting- actually reliving those memories- it was surreal. That must have been 12 or so yrs ago now.
