ourcommon,
that's the same thing I think. I grew up very interested in military history, my Grandfather was in the Marines for 26 years and got a Purple Heart on Iwo Jima, my Dad was in the Marines during Vietnam.
I couldn't imagine doing the things that they did during wars of that era.
Look at the state of war now-everything watched from satellites, it's so surgical and the news travels so fast.
As brutal and horrific as WWII was, I feel like I'd give anything to be able to go back in time and know what it was like.
Band of Brothers really makes that feeling strong. When they're in the woods in the foxholes, and are just waiting, knowing they'll come under attack at any time-there's no feeling we have now, I think, that can even scratch the surface of what that must have been like.
