Returning World War I Soldiers

When an American returnee returned home from World War I, it had a big impact on everyone. Tens of thousands of ordinary people who once owned their families will start a war and will experience wounds that will never be forgotten both mentally and physically. In addition, the First World War brought about new medical advances that helped them regain their previous lives.

Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of war is to return to handling soldiers. Unlike heroic positions of soldiers who returned home in World War II, soldiers serving in Vietnam were portrayed as baby killers, mentally handicapped, drug addicts, war marketers. The soldiers who came back encountered protestors with anti-war slogans at the airport, but it is not unusual. The protesters used these signs to attack soldiers and even throw urine to veterans. In some cases, the soldiers were refused to serve at the restaurant. I remember what happened after I returned home; when I was walking along one of my best friends and California's Auckland street, when the dirty, long-haired, flea garbage approached us I will vocalize and start swearing to us. Mike wants to take him there, but we decided to hand it over.

Ernest Hemingway's short story "House of Soldiers" explores the themes of alienation, integration, and compatibility to deal with the influence that the First World War had on the lives of soldiers after returning home. The message of the author is that the experience of war is personal to all soldiers, the war has kept people away from norms and values ​​of civil society, and furthermore they have alienated their families. Alienation means rupture or isolation from others. This theme was explored with a short story by the main character Harold Krebs. The young man came back to Japan after two years of fighting in Germany and France, and thought that his hometown has not changed, he felt alienated like a stranger. He no longer includes social norms and values ​​in civil society, even social etiquette related to romantic relationships.
