space missions? Bridge on the River Kwai aside, men with families were never selected for any mission that was suicidal. My father was a US soldier in WWII. He was in the Signal Corps in the tank division in Germany. He had a wife and son back home. Was it dangerous? Yes. He could have been killed. Was it suicidal. No. If he had died, he would not have lived to be the father of three more children and grandfather of 7 and great-grandfather of 3.
