Best Answer

Many felt unsettled, confused, lost in a world that was now unfamiliar to him because of all the changes the US had gone through, uncertain about their present and futures and some suffered from terrible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They often were so different than they had been when they went to war their own relatives, wives and children could not understand why they were so different. Many ended up in divorces because they had changed too much or were too sick from PTSD. Some adjusted well. They went back to work or off to college. Some never adjusted and are still messed up 60 plus years later.

Non-whites were very hurt and angry when they returned to the southern states. They were treated like dirt even after they were heroes and risked their lives for the United States. Segregation failed to acknowledge their accomplishments and sacrifice. Eventually the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s corrected some of the problem (not of the heart and mind of the racists). Many did not get awarded much deserved medals and some got them very late in life.
