I got sea-sick just watching those waves.

Great footage and nice music.

Dear Ubisoft,
That is what is meant by rough seas. I wish to have waves in the game so large that if I stay surfaced while in a storm of that magnitude,
my ship could sustain serious damage. I know that not all people feel this way, but it would make for a great addition to your game.
Thank you,
Aaron T. Nelson

Years ago I used to think it was bravery. But you realize they were just doing their jobs, doing what they had to do, there was no alternative for them. Most of them were scared out of their minds, just as any of us would be.

Ill bet you if any of them could have run away from it they would have in a heartbeat.

Uh ? They might have wanted to, that's human nature, but they didn't, that's where Duty and Brotherhood come into play.

Even if they could have, I don't think the ( Place Nationality Here) Navy,Army,Air Corps, Marines, Etc...are famous for their fleeing of the battle field. To say they would all have just cut and run at the hint of danger is a slap to all that died and a bigger one to those that lived.

Sorry if I read your comment the wrong way, I guess it can be read two ways.

Most people on the front line of a war would rather not be there. The rest are just plain crazy. The instinct for personal survival will in most cases completely over-rule notions of patriotism, brotherhood, bravery and honour - you ask any GC or VC medal holder. They will tell you they did what they felt they had to do in the given situation....but they would of rather not had the medal and not been there in the first place.

War IS hell.
