Wow, I didn't know the average GI charging up Omaha Beach (not a coastal city, btw) was 45
>bleedingly obvious to attack at night, or at least as dusk, when the Sun setting would make it harder for people shooting West>attack the time of day that is the furthest it could possibly be from dusknice work America. This is why my home country, France, didn't lose as many soldiers as you did
>>220474542Most of the people storming the beach were not strong swimmers and some had never even been in the ocean. They were a bunch of farmboys not navy frogmen (proto seals)
>millions of dudes got duped into effectively culling their own bloodline
>>220474542Your home country surrendered immediately, you fucking frog coward.
>>220474542yeah here is what you guys were doing
The whole scene is about as authentic as Braveheart
>>220474895Which side is Gibson on?

YOU FAILED US GRAMPS!!!
>>220474542kek
>>220474505That's why Tom Hanks was given the Captain rank in this movie. He's too old to be a Lt.
>>220474505Soldiers in general skewed older in WW2. It was the first time in a while America had been attacked by a foreign power and everyone largely agreed the nazis needed to be stopped
>>220476455why the fuck are you lying?Average soldier in WW2 was under 22>The average age of American troops who landed at Normandy on D-Day, including Omaha Beach, was slightly less than 22 years old
>>220474505Mature screenwriter here. It's not uncommon to age up your heroes by 15 or 20 years. Audiences lose their fucking minds when 11 year old Anakin Skywalker outclasses adults at starfighting or when 22 Tom Holland is a better super spy than Marky Mark in Farcry. Audiences would hate if they had to watch a 15 year old audie Murphy played by 16 year old Justin Bieber or some guy shit. Much safer to hire 45 year old Tom Cruise/Hanks or maybe Mel Gibson.
>>220474542I know that's bait, but the attack was from the north>>220474815>>millions of dudes got duped into effectively culling their own bloodlineit's still happening, you're fapping your life away on the internet while these guys could at least come back with a story once they're out of the meatgrinder
>>220476656Ammature* Autocorrected
>>220474542Yeah I'm sure they didnt think of that, you should be a general or something autism-kun
>>220476455>everyone largely agreed the nazis needed to be stoppedThat's a lie though. Public polling indicated nobody wanted to go to war with Germany or otherwise engage in another European conflict after the horrors of WWI. Many people correctly saw it as a war for the jews and weren't interested.
>>220476455That's just so utterly false lmao. Most WW2 soldiers especially Marines were like 20. Where the fuck did you come up with that.
>>220476674I used to laugh at the hall of cost "masturbation machines" until I realized I'm hooked up
>>220476589In Vietnam, it was 199999999991919
>>220474542They had a very small opening to proceed with the landing in the first place. A delay could've set the operation back months.
>>220474505It’s so weird to think that 70 million white men died for nothing more than the destruction of their descendants birthright on account of genocidal pedophiles that hate the world
>>220476455>Soldiers in general skewed older in WW2.>urr durr ma holywood moobie told me soRetard
>>220477743in Korea it was 62

>>220474505>"Old". We weren't even out of our twenties".
>>220474542>FranceDid France even have an army?
>If I was on that beach with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in those concrete bunkers and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to move upward safely, don't worry.'
