and read All Quiet on the Western Front. It should cure us all? I've spent time pondering this and wonder if... the 'romance' is to not try and help the vet over the horror? or to make those of us on the homefront feel better? but homefront is often harsh... in WWII all those women working the war factories while raising children while their husbands were on the front? they didn't see or go through what their husbands did, but it was hardly 'romantic'. we do need in some way to build it up so that when it really is needed, as in WWII, that people are willing... it matters... no, it is no way 'romantic', but it does matter. but no gloss. I guess I am not a gloss kind of person. even if the cause you suffer for matters... it is not 'romantic'. death and war are ugly and cruel. the cause might be noble, but the means is crushing. no one walks away from seeing death or causing death... without it searing his or her soul. sorry... I really am off on a tangent today. :)
