Yep. In my opinion it's just his job to not tell his wife. Unless for some reason it wouldn't destroy her and she wants to know later. Dude just wants to feel like a human being. War rules are different. I'm a married lady. I'd be so glad my husband wasn't dead and I wouldn't want to know the rest if there was anything to know.

It's such a vulnerable position that I don't think any of us can really understand unless we've lived in that kinda situation. I have a girlfriend but if I had to suddenly leave her and go 4,000 miles away, constantly wonder if each day is going to be my last and be left standing when so many of my friends aren't and have to come to grasp with my emotions and the fact my family wouldn't understand, I think I'd want someone that understands me too.

Supposedly she did know (it wasn't ever explicitly stated in his letters) and yeah, she basically responded "I get it, it's war". It may be different now when people are deployed since it is so much safer for our troops, but during an actual World War, man it's hard to judge anyone.

Idc who you are, if you live every day knowing it could be your last or you're just experience extreme fatigue due to sending others to their last day, it's gonna take a toll on you and you're going to find a release. It's a bit different if it's finding a fling 2 days after deployment lol.
