This essay is amazing in it's research and observations! Many of the reasons for the post-war domestic issues, have been discussed/debated ever since.

Many today don't realize the reason many had quick marriages before the man shipped off, was that you didn't have sex WITHOUT marriage and if you had spent time together, you BETTER not come home without a ring on your finger. So if you wanted "Something to remember", pay up with that ring.

The news articles of domestic problems worse than sub duty in the Pacific(!) are daunting in themselves.

An idea Peter Gunn has started streaming on Amazon Prime. It is the closest to a film Noir series that TV had.

So many femme fatales

how about a video essay.
