In the show Peaky Blinders, some of the characters who were in the British Army during WW1 were disgruntled after the war. Going as far as throwing their war medals in the river. Yet at the same time proud of their service. Was this attitude common for enlisted English veterans after WW1?

In the earlier history of the United States, why does it appear to have been easier to overhunt animals such as the American Bison and Blackfin Cisco? Whereas hunting invasive species such as Burmese Pythons, Asian Carp, and Feral Pigs seem harder to replicate the same outcome?
