It's terrible what those people went through, and terrible that this guy has to live with what he went through. Peace be with him.
I've only seen one interview so I could be wrong, but that is the sense I got from the interview I saw.

Ryan, I didn't get that feeling from either the book or the interviews I've seen, or the movie. He was in the movie and very instrumental in making sure it was accurate and told the story of his commrades in arms. He says he told the story for his buddies that couldn't and he points out their heroic deeds throughout. Quite sure he has survivors guilt though; don't know how he couldn't. Fanstastic movie, but certainly understand those that don't want to see it.
