Hi Jason,
Millions of men fought in that war; and their stories of the aftermath are as varied as the numbers themselves.
For some it was a joyous time as though they'd been reprieved from Hell.
For others it meant trying to cope with terrible memories and the consequences of trying to piece together shattered lives.
For still others, it was a quick transition from taking off the uniform, putting on work clothes, and getting on with the process of earning a living and building a family.
The stories are too many to generalize. But this one thing CAN be said -- I've known a great many veterans of that war -- and to a person -- each one said that those years were the single most vivid and formative years of their lives.
Cheers, mate.

Watch the film "The Best Years of Our Lives". It is an excellent account of veterans who returned from the war. Harold Russell, who lost his arms in the arm, won an Academy Award for his performance.
