Then there are some plain weird ones: the Solomon islands are routinely misspelled, apparently a developer thinks Caen is Cannes - I never heard of a film festival in Caen. Then there's the 'liberate Florence' one, the 'Rumanian vampirism' one and the 'Go make a screenshot' one - just odd.

Beery,

The game's messages are supposed to be internal stuff sent from US Navy higher authorities or Comsubpac to other US Navy units. They shouldn't care to be politically correct and respectfull to anyone - since that wouldn't be period.

Also, while some of the messages are perhaps a little weird, I don't think they are as bad as you make them be. Of course, its hard to look at them objectively.
