It can be hard to start over in a new place when you don't speak the language or have any ties. You might be killed by locals if they think you're a spy. If your army caught you, they would have you killed.
Lets say WW2 and we free France what prevents me from saying fuck this I am staying in France where they at least used to love Americans?
I don't think this is accurate also after what US troops did in France post normandy... this is tone deaf
Back the train up yes I am US went to school in US and never even heard about Troops doing messed up things. I mean no sarcasm in this btw. Can you provide some links on what you are referring to?

Hey Dude or Dudette I just got around to reading this. Sorry for the late reply. How come GI's did this? Also if I was going to live there wouldn't it be up to me to kick the ever living day lights out of the men commiting this? What I meant was maybe get a house home or whatever. For pretty cheap since France was bombed to shit. Fix it up grow a decent garden and maybe open up a free for all farmers market?
