wasn't that supposedly the "Good War"? He was in the Battle of the Bulge. Came back, joined the FDNY, got married and then walked away from it all. He ended up an alcoholic dishwasher and short order cook in diners. He didn't kill anyone once he got home, but he was a damaged man. War is Hell, period.
