My uncle#1 was in the USAFFE (United States Armed Forces in the Far East), Intelligence division, was wounded by a sniper. He was captured and tortured by the Japanese for Army info, then imprisoned. He survived the war but never talked openly about his experiences during those times for the rest of his life. Post-traumatic stress disorder in today's lingo. I guess reliving those memories was just too much.
Ah yes, uncle #2 was in the Army's Signal Corps.
I too pondered about serving (was ROTC cadet officer), but things turned out differently for me and I never applied to be commissioned.
