Some things to consider. I will not necessarily be responding to (or even reading) comments. I generally do not block comments unless they are off-topic, merely a soap-box for the individual, or clearly spam. I reserve the right to ban persistent offenders. Occasionally a comment will be held up for moderation because it triggers a filter; in particular comments with four or more links will be delayed. Do not resubmit the comment - it will be posted when I get an opportunity. Lastly, commenting get automatically shut down three weeks after the post first appears. Have fun!
It’s hard to think one’s way into what it must be like to think, `a bunch of our little group here with the cold saltwater soaking our undies, carrying all this stuff on our backs, are not going to be alive in a few minutes.’
these guys walked into the most concentrated barrage of rifle, machinegun mortar and artillery fire ever. They went in knowing full well what the danger was. but they did it anyway. My hat’s off to them all, Americans, British, Canadian, Free French, Polish and others.
