I'll agree 100% though my experience was a little different. There was no sharing of war stories as I stood behind the line of former USN/USMC WWII aces from the Pacific theater and across from thier Japanese counterparts. Rough words were spoken even 50 years after the fact!
Some feelings/memories die hard no doubt.
