Affection between American soldiers during WWII
Characters A and B are really close friends in the army during WWII, and A gets hit pretty bad.
Would it have been a faux pas at the time for A, thinking he's dying, to tell B that he loves him?
Tried searching different arrangements of: faux pas, WWII, American, men
ETA: I want to clarify that Characters A and B are romantically involved, but I'm curious as to if it's more likely for anyone around to take it as platonic/brotherly or if it's going to be automatically thought of as homosexual.
