“I would encourage others to do the same, after all, when writing opinions, who knows, it might make your writing run a little more smoothly after all.”

I'm not sure that anything could make my writing run smoothly. I decided a long time ago that I have a tin ear
when it comes to the written word. Your observations are
very interesting. I have also read extensively about the war in the Pacific. Every time I learn something new it just
shows me how much more there is out there!

I would say that this is good on your part, because writing a letter to my grandfather was a real wake-up call to the part of history that was left out of textbooks. After corresponding with him, along with additional research on American Intel in the Pacific, there’s just so much hard work done on our part that the film U-571 feels to me like a slap in the face, it is diverting attention away from where some real credit is due. Among all things that fictional films can deliver, one of them can be a prompt to try taking a look into actual history or facts behind the film or novel, Hunt For Red October got me interested in actual research on the history of how real submarines work, and some real events that happened. It’s also interesting that you chose the name you did, the nickname of a Soviet Submarine maneuver.
