I know this is Hollywood 1946. I wonder if this dramatization happened to other World War 2 veterans that was not too different than those who came back from Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Panama, Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and the current battle with ISIS?.
The soda jerk in this movie was a B-17 bomber pilot who just came back and found a job making fast food. The guy with the missing arms was a real WW2 veteran. I thought this was a great scene.
The director of the movie did serve in World War 2. He was one of the directors from the Netflix series '5 came back' and their war experience changed them and most suffered PTSD or deafness from filming in a war zone. They put realism into this movie about veterans reintegrating and feeling alienated from the trauma of war. If you have PTSD, please seek help from the VA and avoid drinking or doing drugs. If you have substance abuse problems contact Alcoholics or Narcotics anonymous. With 20 suicides a day happening with veterans, Seek help if you feel suicidal from your war experiences or life in general. Seek help by contacting a suicide hotline. 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

There was very strong feeling in the US before the war for the country to stay out of the war. Indeed, there was a large contingent led by such notables as Lindberg (yes, the famous aviator) and Joe Kennedy (President Kennedy's father) who were pro-Hitler. I don't believe that there was any similar group supporting Japan. Thus, once we were drawn into the war, I don't believe I have ever heard anyone openly supporting Japan, but the support for Germany seemed to fade slowly. Was there support for Germany even after the war? Yes, but rarely expressed openly. I know my father was one of those. He often spoke wistfully of the world that might have been had Hitler won, but only in private. I have no shame in saying this. His opinion is not mine, never was, never will be. I spoke of it openly on my weblog...
