Was WWII fun?

Being in trenches, soaking rain, artillery coming down on ya, time in the field hospitals, on patrol... probably not. But what about just one specific part of war: shooting people. You should ask WWII vets if shooting Axis soldiers was fun. Most of them would say no, but I'll bet there's a few who enjoyed it.

The bell has been rung.

It is the fighter speaking and he knows his feelings aren't geared to the politically correct sissies - there is nothing politically "correct" about war.

General Mattis, Bless you for your days, months and years spent defending all of us, I salute you for your bravery,
you "orate" as does our President, honest and blunt.

Thank you sir.

Still, they don't brag about it.
