Hey man, there was a time when 19 was an adult from most people's perspectives. I'm twenty-seven now, and the concept of all these kids going off to fight is horrifying to me. When I was their age and younger, I didn't see it in quite the same light.
哥们儿，在大多数人眼里，曾经19岁就是个成年人了。我现在二十七了，一想到这帮孩子要上战场，我就觉得毛骨悚然。但我像他们那么大或者更小的时候，对这事儿的看法可完全不是这样。

As a older person, the way I have seen these things have evolved so much. When I was a kid I too marvel at there bravery. When I was older I thought about them fighting for their unit, or friends or what have you. Now all I can think about is the holes in their mothers and fathers hearts, and even the ones that returned, all the violence that was put in to the world. It breaks my heart now.
作为一个过来人，我看着这些事儿演变了这么多年，感触太深了。小时候我也对他们的英勇感到惊叹。再大一点儿的时候，我会觉得他们是在为自己的战友、兄弟或者什么别的信念而战。可现在，我满脑子想的都是他们父母心里的那个大窟窿，还有那些活着回来的人，这世界因为他们又多了多少暴力。现在想起来，心都要碎了。

> When I was their age and younger, I didn't see it in quite the same light. That's why it works man. I remember being off with cadets at the black isle; I was sweet at iron targets; I could hit paper at whatever the range was we were tested at; on the simulated range I missed with every shot. That was the exact moment I decided me and the army were not going to be a good fit. Thank fuck for that little day out.

I remember in the early 2000s still being a teenager and first seeing all my older sisters friends going off to war then not long after my friends. We were all just kids not old enough to drink and buddies are coming back from ied attacks with shrapnel in their heads and bodies and brain injuries. I had a friend get blown up in a convoy and shot six times. The VA got him on morphine, oxy and Xanax with no drug counseling or supervision. He turned into such an addict. Lost his license but was 100% disabled anyways and had seizures from his tbi so he shouldn't have been driving anyways. His life was hell and I haven't had contact with him for years so I hope he's doing better. I had another friend who came home because he shot and killed a seven year old who ran towards them with a bag and didn't stop when they yelled at him to stop. However it went down he got dishonorably discharged and was rightfully seriously fucked up in the head about it. War is fucked up man. Thank God uncle Sam hates drugs so much, my juvenile cocaine charge was good enough to keep my stupid ass from signing up.
我记得那是21世纪初，我还是个十几岁的少年，先是看着我大姐的那些朋友奔赴战场，没过多久，身边的朋友也都去了。我们当时都还是些连酒都喝不了的孩子，结果哥们儿们从IED（简易爆炸装置）袭击中回来时，脑袋和身上全是弹片，脑子也受了重伤。
我有个朋友在车队里被炸飞，还身中六枪。退伍军人事务部（VA）给他开了吗啡、羟考酮和阿普唑仑，却没有任何戒毒咨询或监管。他彻底成了瘾君子。他驾照被吊销了，反正他那时候也因为创伤性脑损伤（TBI）导致癫痫发作，本来就不该开车。他的生活简直是地狱，我已经好几年没跟他联系了，希望他现在过得好点。
我还有个朋友退伍回家，因为他在战场上开枪打死了一个七岁小孩——那小孩提着个袋子朝他们跑过来，喊停也不听。不管当时具体是个什么情况，反正他被开除军籍了，心理上受了严重的创伤，这确实也正常。
战争这玩意儿真他妈扯淡。谢天谢地，山姆大叔那么痛恨毒品，我那点儿年少轻狂吸可卡因的前科，正好让我这蠢货没法去参军。

Band of Brothers is the story of Easy Company first and foremost which is why I preferred it. The Pacific felt like it was more focused on a few people and their experience in the war and at home. When people left the orbit of Easy company they were out of the show. You didn't see Bill back home dealing with missing a leg. Winters was arguably the "main" character and even he takes a backseat after his promotion. That's always been the major difference for me.
《兄弟连》归根结底讲的是“二连”（Easy Company）的故事，所以我个人更偏爱它。《太平洋战争》感觉更侧重于几个特定人物，以及他们从战场到家中的个人经历。只要有人脱离了二连的圈子，基本上就在剧中“下线”了。你根本看不到比尔（Bill）回到家后是怎么面对断腿残疾的。温特斯（Winters）可以说是这部剧的“核心”主角，可即便如此，他在晋升之后戏份也变少了。
对我来说，这始终是它们之间最大的区别。

That's the thing about the Pacific theater. It was a meat grinder. Sledge served a long time. He wasn't even there at the beginning of the war though. In his book he discussed this. The book is called With The Old Breed.
He said he was awed by the veterans then slowly he became one. There weren't really units that were trained together that stayed together in the Pacific. It was too brutal.
这就是太平洋战场的残酷之处。那简直就是个绞肉机。斯莱治（Sledge）服役了很长时间，但他甚至都没赶上战争刚开始的时候。
他在书里专门谈过这点。那本书叫《老兵长存》（With The Old Breed）。
他说自己一开始对那些老兵感到敬畏，后来慢慢地，他自己也成了他们中的一员。
在太平洋战场上，确实没怎么有那种从训练开始就一直在一起、之后还能完整待下去的部队。那里的环境太惨烈了。

I've met some old WWII vets years ago. Those in the Pacific theater said some of the Japanese charges were indeed just like that scene. One commented he couldn't stand the sound of a sewing machine, as the stitching sound, and intermittence of checking the sewing line/pattern reminded him of the machine gun he used 'to mow them down, row by row'.
我多年前见过一些二战老兵。那些在太平洋战区待过的老兵说，有些日军的冲锋确实跟那一幕演的一模一样。其中一位说他忍受不了缝纫机的声音，因为那种缝纫的动静，还有检查缝线或花样时的那种断续声，会让他想起当年用机枪“一排排扫倒他们”的情景。

Dehumanizing the enemy has been integral to war as long as war has existed. If soldiers see how much they have in common with the other side, they're much less likely to agree to kill them.

The “what about the boys still at the front?” motivation is a strong one, even when you’ve done your duty already. IIRC, I read somewhere that, during the Hurtgen Forest campaign in the Fall of 1945, the US Army experienced a replacement shortage. Army psychiatrists were tasked with getting as many combat fatigued soldiers back into action as soon as possible. The best method they found way to play on the soldiers’ sense of guilt at having left their buddies to continue the fight without them. Many men who had no business going back to the front lines ended right back in that meat grinder. Often it did not end well. Often this process was used multiple times with the same soldier. This may be a myth, but apparently many of those Army psychiatrists also ended up having breakdowns. Take that for what it’s worth... the vague memories of some internet guy.
“那些还在前线苦战的弟兄们怎么办？”这种动力真的很强大，哪怕你其实已经尽过义务了。
如果我没记错的话，我以前在哪儿读到过，1945 年秋天许特根森林战役期间，美军兵力严重短缺。当时陆军的精神科医生被派去任务，要把那些患有战斗疲劳症的士兵尽快送回战场。他们发现最有效的法子，就是利用士兵们的负罪感，让他们觉得把战友丢在那儿继续拼命自己却撤了，心里过意不去。很多根本没能力再上战场的人，结果又被送回了那个绞肉机。结局往往都不怎么好。而且这招在同一个士兵身上还反复用过多次。
这事儿也可能是个传言，但据说不少陆军精神科医生最后自己也崩溃了。
这话也就听听吧……毕竟只是个网上路人的模糊记忆。

My father ran away from home to join the Navy, and lied about his age as had just turned 17. He ended up being a gunners mate on the USS Nashville. Participated in the largest naval battle of all time, the battle of Leyte gulf. He was almost ripped in half, a scar from his belly button, going around to his back, several months later when a kamikaze hit his ship. 6 months in an Hawaiian Hospital , then back on the ship. He rarely ever talked about his time in WW2. I miss him

Childhood trauma can be a lot worse than wartime PTSD. With trauma experienced as an adult, at least you (ideally) have a solid foundation of personhood from which to try to deal with it. For trauma experienced as a child, particularly ongoing abuse from a caregiver, you grow up with the trauma and it can become a much deeper part of who you are.
童年创伤可能比战争导致的 PTSD 严重得多。对于成年后经历的创伤，你至少（理想情况下）拥有一个稳固的自我人格基础，可以用来尝试应对它。但对于童年创伤，尤其是来自抚养者的持续性虐待，你是带着创伤长大的，它更容易深入骨髓，成为你人格的一部分。

The brain can only process so much. Once, while watching an Iraqi taking out trash in the hospital (Doing the glorious job of escort duty while in Iraq) , a helicopter lands and some folks rush out with a stretcher. I would say they ran past me, but I quickly excused myself from their course and just watched. They proceeded to pick up this kid who was charred head to toe from the stretcher and put him on the hospital bed. Got to watch and his skin just fell out, and...Yeah...that was enough for me.. Walked outside to see them washing out the blood from the helicopter before taking off again. Aside from that, I saw someone get blown into dust from a missile. That was "fun". A friend of mine (in afghan - different deployment) got his face blown off after we swapped shifts...That was a tough one.. And then you got the guys that are really in the shit...Then you have folks like the guy in OP's pic. In short, its hard to really define this kind of stare. Its their, and most of us luckier folks can just not think about things. But the memories are always there...Burned into your retinas. Shit you will never forget, as it was that one time your brain just "noped" the fuck out. EDIT: I think in a few comments I mentioned the kid's village got blown up..It was their family home...whole family killed, he "survived" until he later died...shit sucks.
人脑的承受能力是有极限的。有一次，我在医院看着一个伊拉克人在倒垃圾（当时我在伊拉克执行光荣的护送任务），一架直升机降落了，几个人抬着担架冲了出来。我本想说他们是从我身边跑过去的，但我赶紧躲开了他们的路径，只是站在一旁看着。他们把那个从头到脚都被烧焦的孩子从担架上抬下来，放到了病床上。我亲眼看着他的皮就那么掉了下来，然后……没错……那对我来说已经够了。
我走到外面，看着他们把直升机里的血迹冲洗干净，准备再次起飞。除此之外，我还亲眼看着一个人被导弹炸成了灰。那可真是“有意思”。我的一个朋友（在阿富汗——不同的部署任务）在我们换班后脸就被炸飞了……那件事真的很难熬。
然后还有那些真正深陷泥潭的兄弟们……再看看像发帖人照片里那样的家伙。简而言之，很难真正定义这种眼神。那是属于他们的，而我们大多数幸运的人只是不去想这些事。但那些记忆一直都在……深深烙在你的视网膜上。那些你永远无法忘怀的烂事，因为那是你的大脑彻底“罢工”、想都不敢想的那一刻。
编辑：我在几条评论里提到过那个孩子的村子被炸了……那是他们的家……全家都被杀了，他“幸存”了下来，但后来还是死了……这世道真操蛋。

天哪，这他妈简直烂透了，在地狱里幸存下来，刚被拉上船，结果一个月后又为了同样那破事儿送了命。这就像是在割鱼翅，只不过这回没鱼翅汤喝。

He and one other Marine were killed taking Ebon Atoll. From the history of the U.S. Marine Corps in World War 2:
>Once this objective was secured, the two forces parted company as planned. Shisler’s men landed at Ebon Atoll on the morning of 23 March and, on the following day, killed 17 Japanese in a vicious fight that cost the lives of two Marines. Six enemy noncombatants were taken into custody. Ebon Atoll had a population at the time of 500 or so people, is about 2 miles of land, was garrisoned by 25 or so Japanese troops and taken in a firefight that lasted 20 minutes it seems. Mind boggling that 19 people lost their lives over a speck of land in the Pacific, thousands of miles from their homes, with nothing on it of military value.
他和另外一名海军陆战队员是在攻占埃邦环礁时阵亡的。摘自二战美国海军陆战队史：
>一旦该目标被拿下，两支部队便按计划分道扬镳。
希斯勒（Shisler）的部下于3月23日清晨登陆埃邦环礁，并在次日的一场恶战中击毙了17名日军，此战也让两名海军陆战队员付出了生命的代价。另有6名敌方非战斗人员被俘。
当时的埃邦环礁约有500名居民，陆地面积仅2英里左右，驻扎着大约25名日军，而且似乎只用了20分钟的交火就拿下了。真让人难以置信，为了太平洋上一块芝麻大的地儿，距离家乡几千里远，且没有任何军事价值的地方，竟有19个人丢了性命。

He passed a month after turning 19. Probably didn't even realize or care it was his birthday around the time this photo was taken...considering he was a Pvt. too he probably enlisted and got shipped right from boot. Until Valhalla Pvt Miller.
他在刚满19岁一个月后就牺牲了。照片拍的时候，他大概都没意识到也不在乎那天是他生日吧……考虑到他还是个二等兵，他多半是刚入伍就被直接派上前线了。英灵殿见，米勒二等兵。

This looks like the face used by Dan Carlin in the last few episodes of Blueprint for Armageddon
这看起来像是丹·卡林（Dan Carlin）在《末日蓝图》（Blueprint for Armageddon）最后几集里用的那张人脸照片。

Carlin has cited “On Killing” by Dave Grossmann a few times too, and this picture is on the paperback cover
卡林也曾好几次提到戴夫·格罗斯曼（Dave Grossman）写的《论杀人》（On Killing）这本书，而这张照片就在平装版的封面上。

Growing up my dad didn’t give me a ton of advice, or maybe I just don’t remember, but I do remember him getting very serious and telling me not to ever date a guy with the thousand yard stare. I didn’t understand at the time and it wasn’t until years later that I realized what he meant. The day I learned what the 1000 yard stare looked like was also the day I recognized that my dad had terrible PTSD from serving in Vietnam and that he was all too familiar with this look.
我小时候，我爸没给过我什么特别多的建议，又或者是我记不清了，但我确实记得他曾一脸严肃地告诫我，千万别跟那种眼神空洞呆滞（thousand yard stare）的男人谈恋爱。当时我完全没懂他在说什么，直到多年后我才反应过来。就在我明白什么叫“眼神空洞”的那一天，我也意识到我爸患有严重的战后创伤后遗症（PTSD），那是他在越战服役时留下的，而且他本人对这种眼神再熟悉不过了。

Felt like he was staring into my soul, barely got to experience life, sad.

What gets me, and this is self evident, but what gets me is that this was it for that fellow. His one chance at this strange occurrence we call life. His only shot at marriage, a family, grandchildren, an old man's leisure and wisdom. But none was to come for him, and never will. A man of healthy mind and body, born into modern times, whose life was, what, squandered? At least shamefully unrealized. And that was his only chance.
最让我揪心的是——这虽然显而易见，但最让我揪心的是——这哥们儿的一辈子就这么完了。在这场名为“人生”的奇妙旅程里，这可是他仅有的一次机会啊。他本该有那唯一一次结婚、组建家庭、含饴弄孙、享受晚年安逸与智慧的机会。但这一切他都没能赶上，以后也永远没戏了。一个身心健康的汉子，生在现代社会，结果他的人生就这么……怎么说呢，被挥霍了？至少也是活得够憋屈、够窝囊的。而那真的是他唯一的机会了。

The marines in the Pacific theater fought with a foe that would rather die than surrender. They gave no quarter, beheaded many prisoners, even ate the liver of one American. After the introduction to their atrocities, the Americans did the same. You can't blame them.
在太平洋战场上，海军陆战队员们面对的是一群宁死不降的死敌。他们从不留活口，砍下过不少俘虏的脑袋，甚至还吃过一个美国人的肝。在见识过对方的这些暴行之后，美国人也开始以牙还牙。这事儿你真没法怪他们。

Read “**With the Old Breed**” by EB Sledge; partially the inspiration for HBO’s *The Pacific*. One of the great war accounts of all time. You would be a teenage kid, *barely* make it out of a beach landing without dying, and they would just keep shipping you onto the next landing, and the next, and the next. For many infantry Marines, enlistment was almost certain death
去读读 E.B. Sledge 写的《老兵长存》（With the Old Breed）；HBO 那部《太平洋战争》的部分灵感就来源于此。这是史上最伟大的战争实录之一。
你还是个毛头小子，刚从滩头登陆战里捡回一条命，他们就会把你源源不断地送去下一场登陆战，再下一场，没完没了。对于许多海军陆战队的步兵来说，入伍几乎等同于领了张死亡通知单。
