It has been my experience that people who have actually experienced the "horrors" of war do not like to talk about it much.

My granddad and grandmother were in the resistance in Europe during WW2 - my granddad was captured, and send to a nazi "work camp"... he died less than 1 year after the war due to illness, however my grandmother never told much about what she and my granddad had experienced during WW2 - just hints, small comments every few years/decades... which could be anything from harmless daily life stories to graphic comments which left you with a changed picture of your "cookie baking grandmother", like when she told about how their group in a period did brutal assassinations on possible snitches to scare off potential new snitches I´m sure she has not told everything to spare us from the experience and feelings she must be carrying around - like she told me once "it was another time, and the world must move on"...
