[null and void]

I’d rather have been a soldier on Iwo Jima or a crew member on a B-17 over Germany than be on a submarine.

I know of one guy who requested submarine duty during WWII.

He didn't want to be maimed, and since pretty much no one came home maimed from submarine duty...

Wow. That is amazing. I’d rather be maimed than drown. There is a reason they were called the greatest generation.
