I think there are some psychological states that we can't understand if we don't share the experience.

My father was in combat in WW II. He was shot at by Japanese planes. He had bombs dropped on his position. He lost friends. Afterward, he had no use for guns. I respected his feelings.

You are right seamus.
My Dad also went through WW11 & his ship was hit by a suicide plane at IWO. He was a signalman in Korea assigned to a Marine division. He saw quit a bit of hand to hand & when he got out pistols & knives were his disdain. I have his baoynet. He wanted me to keep it but did not want to even see it out when he was at our house.
We don't know what they went through mentally.
