My grandfather was Airborne in the US Army. I tried more than once to get him to talk about his time in France during the war, and about the only thing he would discuss in detail was that the war ended before he could be deployed to the Far East.
Is it just an inherent difference between that generation and later ones who seem addicted to confessional culture, or something particular to World War II that makes so many who participated in it so reluctant to discuss it?
