I think horrific and frightening pretty well sum it up. Combat is something which must be experienced truly to be understood. To get some idea though, watch the movies "The Big Red One" and "Saving Private Ryan".Michael Montagne

For an idea what the front lines were like in Europe read CITIZEN SOLDIERS, D Day or Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose. Band of Brothers was also made into an hbo movie that could be purchased on DVD.

For life on Iwo Jima I strongly suggest reading Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley. Flyboys by the same author is also a very good book. These books give a great and some times graphic account of what life was like for these young kids out protecting this great country.

For another perspective, try Frontsoldaten by Stephen G. Fritz available online thru major book retailers. Also, 7000 Kilometers in a Sturmgeschutz by Heinrich Engel (publisher: J. J. Fedorowicz Publishing, Inc).

or watch a really rough porno film and you'll understand
