In an eerie parallel, my mom’s father had been a flamethrower man in the Pacific during that same time period. He also had really bad PTSD.
Yikes! I can imagine, between strapping gallons of flaming death on your back which a single bullet could set off, and shooting that flaming death at other people and having to watch and see the aftermath, it could really fuck you up but good.
