I can't imagine having a conversation with someone that I torpedoed during the war.

It is amazing listening to this guy talk. I wish there were hours more footage like that. I wish they had footage watching this guy watching the simulation play, or better yet, footage of him playing the actual simulation.
Can you imagine watching this guy set up and execute an attack?
Damn.
