I once read somewhere that after World War II ended, troops aboard ships taking them home would go rehash stories of what They saw and did. Many days of travel would lead to many hours of therapy for Troopers coming home. Getting things off their chests and so on.
When I was
myself, usually, after a week of training in The Field, many, many people would go over the smallest detail of what they saw, what they did and what others did. Some of the talk were pats on the back, sometimes not. Good things, bad things, everyday things that went right, wrong or nothing worth mentioning.
Peers talking to peers. Bill Mauldin spoke something of this closeness in
The Brotherhood What Was Shot At versus those who were so far in the rear they always wore ties on duty. Yes, get him to as many Legion, VFW, DAV people as you can.
