Is there a difference in fighting ability/spirit of married and single Soldiers?
I recently had the honor of spending some time with a WWII, Korean, and Vietnam CIB recipient who was a glider and senior parachutist. Tough old bastard who could kill at the drop of a hat even in his old age...He was quite sold on that married Soldiers were less likely to return fire and engage as quickly as single Soldiers.
I find this an interesting and curious opinion and was wondering if anyone with experience would opine on the subject.
