Could you have done it /his/?

Would I have a choice about it?

Die?

Seems easy.

Presuming you're talking about Omaha and not the other beaches that went swimmingly.

>>2618633
I'm an horribly weak dick, but I wouldn't really have had a choice if I was there

rather die like a poor fuck on a beach and do my duty rather than get shot for desertion

>>2618633
No I'm not medically fit.

Mmm, sorry, I'm allergic to beaches.

Good luck, though

>>2618673
I didn't think desertion had a penalty of capital punishment for the allies in ww2

>>2618712
why are you even on a history board

>>2618633

DO WHAT?

MOW DOWN INVADERS? YES.

Everyone did it, there wasn't a choice, staying in the boat or on the beach would get you killed.

yeah i could post pictures on 4chan

>>2618779
why do you hate yourself anon, who hurt you

I'd gladly accept both death and victory

The only reason I´m alive is that I´m too much of a pussy to kill myself, I'd gladly accept being killed for a good cause

>>2618633
Killing Americans sounds fun desu

Didn't they hand out meth like candy?

Anyway. I guess I could. Hard to say really.

>>2618633
Probably

>>2618633
Well i would be on the other side and maim americans en masse and end up in vallhalla

Never in a million years.

The sad thing is that most of them thought they were fighting for the good guys.

Better to die on your feet like a man than on your knees like a dog

I'd be fucking terrified. Not sure if I could, the thought alone scares the shit out of me, and being drafted wouldn't do much for my motivation.

I hope you survive the war so you can return home to raise "your" family.

When everypne around you is doing it i don't think it's unrealistic to say that i would. I dont know if i could be the first out though.

>>2619957
Honestly, anon.
Have you ever actually gotten layed?

>>2620105
>layed
Are you 12?

>>2619975
If you're even posting on this website you're definitely among the first ones to go.

The trick is to pretend you get shot, and then lay there, then miraculously wake up after after everything is over.

Just bash your helmet to make it look like you got clobbered really good by a grazing shot, and bob's your uncle, you've survived the normandy beach landing!

>>2618944
Everyone did, and the germans went a step farther and had literal candy meth.

>>2618633
Would have fucking died

>>2618633
I"d rather not serve and fuck all the lonely women whose husbands are being killed in the war.

>>2620186
But what if a stray bullet or artillery shell hits you?
Wouldn't it be safer to just move up until you're out of the line of fire from the bunkers?

>>2618633
Hell no!

>>2618633
Where are the axis on this photo?

I would have hidden behind the boat till its safe to come out

>>2618633

Would I have had a choice? Of course I'd have done it. It was either do a killing field run dodging bullets and shells with a small chance of survival or get blown up by artillery on the landing boat.

No because I would find myself on the opposite side of that beach

What does adding a tripcode to your post add to the conversation? Why do you think people need to identify you for this post?

>>2618647
yeah like what else are you going to do, hide in the water the whole time? Find the safest spot you can and just get yelled at maybe.

>>2618633
I heard that they deliberately used fresh, inexperienced troops for the landings because they would actually storm the beaches, as the commanders intended. If they used veteran troops, they would have stood by the boats near the waterline and wait for the Germans to spend their ammo. Is this true?

>>2618633
Probably not considering that the US shouldn't have been there in the first place.

>US always getting involved in shit that doesn't concern them
>US having any sort of deeper meaning or value that should be sacrificed for

The USA is the walmart of nation-states

>>2622329

the American was largely full of raw recruits, having only had their asses kicked in north afrika

Id probably survive Juno. Wasn't it the most lightly defended?

>>2618633
Depends who you talk to. If you look at recent European surveys you'd get maybe one in six who would sign up (only if there nation was attacked) and about 40% of Americans would sign up.

So most of the "men" Here would pretend some bs and watch as their nation falls and their women raped.

And no, you wouldn't go lone wolf and kill thousands with a sniper rifle.

>Eventually a beachhead gets formed due to weight of numbers
>Less pressure on the beaches
>Veterans able to land with less risk and be better used to take on inland defenses

>not convincing yourself you're already dead anyway

It becomes easy after that, or so I read. Honestly, nobody knows how they would react. It's pretty much all instinct, there's no time for reflection or existential thoughts.

Yes because I wouldn't be a cosseted millennial


Back then we still had real men who were willing to fight for the right thing.

You are aware of what happened on the other beaches? Omaha was an unlucky fuck up

>>2621038
This, they worked out about 85% of the casualties on Omaha were from indirect fire

I did eastern front so yeah

>>2622307
>hide in the water the whole time?
Yes

>>2619929
I'd rather die on the back of a soldier's wife because I was diagnosed "physically unfit for service". Bitches be thirsty during wartime.

But dogs don't crotch on their knees you massive retard.

>>2622350

That's how most of the survivors lived.
