Why do I get so much feelings of nostalgia when seeing photos

Because the war brought more Americans together for a single cause than anything in our history. You want to share in a great endeavor that will reshape the world.

You lack direction and meaningful relationships with others.

Ideological purity, not even memeing. I take it you're American, so the war represents a time when the US was as unified as it has ever been. Not to mention we get to pretend winning the war was all us and it was purely out of good will towards our quaint neighbors to the east that we generously helped them crush the Nazi menace.

Why is that fucking nigger sitting on the deck with white servicemen?

It was when everyone fought for something good. I mean, at least the Nazi's fought for a Greater Germany which would benefit their country. America was unified and honestly at it's peak.
Look at that picture. A bunch of fine white men with a few African American gentlemen. It was a time before we had niggers rioting in the street and killing eachother, a time where fine European men come home to their beautiful families, a time where there were so bull-dykes and special snowflakes in the military. It was just a bunch of brothers in arms having fun.
We'll never, ever get this again in our lifetime.

It would give your life meaning and assuming you don't wash out probably give you a better connection to society at large. World War 2 was nasty and not something I'd ever wish to experience, but at least the nation was together, which is far more then we can say about this "era of peace".

This.

I respect and cherish the marines, soldiers and sailors who had to fight the japs, what they went through was truly hellish

"The mud was knee deep in some places, probably deeper in others if one dared venture there. For several feet around every corpse [and there were thousands of those], maggots crawled about in the muck and then were washed away by the runoff of the rain. . .The scene was nothing but mud; shell fire; flooded craters with their silent, pathetic, rotting occupants; knocked-out tanks and amtracs; and discarded equipment - utter desolation."

"The stench of death was overpowering. The only way I could bear the monstrous horror of it all was to look upward away from the earthly reality surrounding us, watch the leaden gray clouds go skudding over, and repeat over and over to myself that the situation was unreal - just a nightmare - that I would soon awake and find myself somewhere else."

"I existed from moment to moment, sometimes thinking death would have been preferable. We were in the depths of the abyss, the ultimate horror of war. . . Men struggled and fought and bled in an environment so degrading I believed we had been flung into hell's own cesspool." (Sledge, With the Old Breed, page 253.)
