That's because of the real loss and mental damage experienced by
so many families.

There was no concept of ptsd or any of the other ism's in those days
to help explain the psychological damage and to provide routes for
recovery. You were just expected to resume normal life as though
nothing had happened. Thousands of civilised men came back from the
war so damaged by what they had seen, that they never recovered.
My father was perhaps one of the more lucky ones, but was always
reticent about his experiences and would not go into any detail
at all...
