Stay on this thread and ask your questions

I truly appreciate this a lot, good sir.
I tried to come up with some of my own questions paired with a few of the conventional ones. Here are the (I hope not too repetitive) questions:
1. Where did you live during the war?
2. How old were you when the war started?
3. In which branch of the armed forces did you serve?
4. Where were you stationed during the war?
5. What were your duties? (Or what was your title?)
6. How was the morale in your unit(s)?
7. How was the food?

(I know this is sort of an innocent question, but I'm curious)
8. How were your living quarters?
9. Were any aspects of your war experience "boring" or "monotonous"? In other words, did you ever feel like an automaton?
10. When were you most afraid during the war?
11. When did you start feeling sure about the end of the war (as in who will win the war)?
12. What did you think, at the time, about
: FDR, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians, the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
13. Have any of those opinions in 12. changed now?
14. Where were you when you heard about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, D Day, VE Day, VJ Day, and the death of FDR? (I know some of these events may not be that important considering you are not American, so I'd appreciate it if you could answer just as many as you could).
15. When you came home from the war did you have trouble finding a job?
16. Do you remember any other problems returning soldiers faced?
17. Do you still see any of the men in your former unit(s)?
I also understand if you do not wish to answer some of the above questions.
Thank you for your precious time!
God bless you,
