Anyone who does not understand should watch the first ten minutes of "Saving Private Ryan". I'm sure it is only a semblance of what they faced, but it is the most powerful representation I have ever seen.
Set revisionist history and politics aside if you need to and just appreciate the men as human beings when something greater demands sacrifice.chillinfish and jollymon like this.People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.
