Yesterday. I took advantage of my Amazon Prime membership to watch 20 episodes of that fantastic 1952 TV series, “Victory at Sea” at no charge! An amazing patriotic series presented by NBC with Richard Rodgers (Rodgers & Hammerstein) music detailing much of the US Navy action in WW2, from the convoys that were so savaged by the U-Boats to the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
In WW2, it can be truly said that all gave some and some gave all, so comparing one battle to another is really pointless as all participants were endangered. This series made clear that these Axis advisaries were insatiable and committed to our destruction in order to save their own worthless hides.
It is a shame that the issues are so much more clouded today. Our ‘sophisticated’ culture abhors the blatant nationalism and propaganda from WW2 to the point that they bend over and tuck their cranium into their rectum. Multiculturalism is fine but it does not excuse the metrics as to what society / culture has the best record for the most people.
I used to stay up late when I was a boy in the late 50s and watch Victory at Sea. Grew up surrounded by WWII vets and wanted to know everything I could about the war.
