[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2932021, member: 30671"] A long time ago I had a conversation with a WW2 Veteran. He was drafted in spite of being over the maximum age. He was a college math professor, and was assigned as a human calculator to one of the ships. He spoke of the grief incurred when marines called for support close to their positions, and the tragedy of near misses. Also calling for strikes ON their position as they were over run. They would be informed of that fact, and would reply it didn't matter as they were likely dead either way. [/QUOTE]
