Poor guys, trapped in a tin can that is periodically blown a little bit closer to oblivion.  The smell of gunpowder and blood, the sight of friend and foe torn in half by artillery.  Unfortunately, no-one can hear that side of the story over the fanfare and high fives.

What a strawman... anyone can tell that being on a ship that is being attacked is horrible.

Every time you post you try to make it negative, if you're going to be causing arguments on this forum then please, by all means, leave.

Yes, it's horrid, however if you take the fact that if it had sunk more men would have died and it would have been 10x worse, then you see the big picture. Let's not mention that you have no combat experience, so don't describe something you don't know a thing about.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the rest of them survived.  My point was that we shouldn't romanticize what happened to them.  It would be a disservice.

What do you expect when an adult is continually trying to pass himself off as an Elite Teenager?   Just put the troll on Ignore and his lies vanish.
