"It has been said that the combat veteran has to live through the experience and then, if he survives, he has to live with it the rest of his life. How you handle yourself and what you make of yourself depends a great deal on your upbringing, your discipline, and things of this sort."
Recorded at the Mises Institute's "Costs of War" conference in May 1994 in Auburn, Alabama: https://mises.org/library/the-costs-war
Eugene Sledge (1923-2001) is best known for his books chronicling his experiences in the Pacific Theater during World War II: *With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa* and *China Marine: An Infantryman's Life after World War II*.
