Well, your comment is ironic. Holden Caulfield was, to a large degree, Salinger. Salinger was at Utah Beach on D-Day and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He spoke German and interrogated Germans for our CIC...but don't misunderstand me: the guy was a major a-hole, crazier than a sh*thouse rat, and had a really bad self-involved attitude.
But, he WAS in the army.
