Completely agree with LTD, just wanted to add a caveat. If you are going to wear the uniform, then adhere to the grooming regulations while you are wearing it. We had a couple former Marines that had gotten out a couple years before come to our birthday ball sporting long hair and beards while wearing their dress blues.
They got about 2 steps in the door and were forcibly ejected. Don't be that guy.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
