If you have access to the military/history channel ( or your local equivalent )

Even the guys who did it for real get together still... what's left of them... They would frown on the attitudes in here, I'm sure...
Enjoy the life your mother's gifted you! I bet you've all seen the end of 'Saving Private Ryan'? If any of you don't find that emotional, then you are primed to tear this thread apart... Go on, do it!
But, at least I respect the the guys who fought and died so you can!
It takes a sane man to kill for the right cause, it takes an insane man to kill, because he can...
Hit me!
And yes, I'm self-righteous bastard!
And many other things as we're about to find out!
