I am glad that my Dad (SSgt. USAAC) did not face combat in WWII. He was a meteorologist technician who, after spending almost 3 years in San Francisco, was assigned to the China-Burma Theater where he was involved with the met stations helping Army pilots fly "over the hump". He never talked about it, and died before I knew enough about what to ask him.
