a few were sent back with planes but most of the soldiers were sent back with ships and some stayed in Germany after ww2
Regulars were issued arms. Irregulars often supplied their own.
At the beginning of the Civil War, young men from both the north and the south were very enthusiastic about fighting in the war. Northerners wanted to thrash the rebels and bring the southern states back into the Union, southerners wanted to destroy the Union army and force them to acknowledge the Confederacy as an independent nation.
Before World War I, American soldiers had never seen such brutality and bloodshed. After they came back from the war, many were disillusioned with life, or were suffering from shell shock. Quite a few of the returning soldiers turned to alcohol or drugs for comfort.
There were no transport aircraft during World War I, so the only means of crossing the sea was in ships.
No war trophies, although the unit may be able to bring some back for display at the unit. Individual soldiers only get to bring back whatever they buy from authorized vendors.
To bring soldiers back home instead of having war
Absolutely not. I can recall circa 2005 when a member of the Minnesota National Guard was found attempting to bring back two AKs... he was sentenced to ten years in federal prison, IIRC. Soldiers returning from Iraq have not been allowed to bring back war trophies of any sort, weapons or otherwise.
Depends on when the war took place and which army. In a modern army, it is normally illegal to bring back war trophies. It's called looting. However in the past, it was common practice for soldiers to claim loot. For instance, during the Napoleonic War, when an enemy Frigate was captured, each member of the ship involved in the capture would be given a portion of what the frigate was worth.
The number of surviving soldiers that came back from World War I was 55,692,802. The total number of deaths from the war was 9.7 million.
Yes, many of them would have been proud to wear their uniforms back home to show what they had done.

They were use bring suppplies, and soldiers to the battle field
Only whatever they buy from vendors who are authorised to sell their goods to US military personnel. They have been extremely strict about forbidding "war trophies" to be brought back to the US by individuals.
The Vietnam war effected soldiers physically with strain of fighting in the jungle but it also effected soldiers psychological mind set. Soldiers were pulled out of school and work at the age of 17 and thrown into the war. The soldiers had to drink and smoke marijuana to deal with the war. It was hard for soldiers to come back for war and make a life.
soldiers did nothing they wre poor soldiers did nothing they wre poor
There were four US Army Regiments of Buffalo Soldiers that saw service in the Caribbean Theatre of the Spanish American War. The two Cavalry Regiments did not get to bring their horses with them and fought as Infantry.
