beautiful speech by Huxley himself
guess what guys, I figured something out:
The worst thing about censorship is ███████
Nice
that prediction was SPOT ON
that's astounding
Yeah, too bad it’s censored
Lol
Anyone here a bit of a ww2 buff?
🙋♂️ of sorts
Sweet.
@HUNTER4639 have you ever done any reading or looking into the Pacific theater?
I think I've heard of it but not really.
It sounds familiar
Interesting. I always found sea battles to be more interesting. Idk why.
OHHHH
Yes I have
I was thinking it was a book or something lmao
Ah cool.
I think the most mismatched battle was leyte gulf.
Sadly it's overlooked in most history classes and not widely known unless you happen to study/look into history.
I've played Battlestations Pacific and that was one of the battles 😂 pretty cool stuff
What role did you play?
I can't remember the scenario.
It's been to long ago for me.
You play as the air support while bombing hangars
Ah. Well, there's another aspect of that battle. One far more interesting in real life anyways.
And then a Japanese battleship with 2 escorts shows up
But before that 2 aircraft carriers get kamikazed
Our aircraft carriers
That's the mission lol
Haven't really looked into the real life battle too much
Hmm. Interesting.
Well, I think you would enjoy the history.
Do you know what a tin can referred to in the navy?
No I don't
Ok, well destroyer and destroyer escorts were called tin cans. Because they would be crushed like a tin can if they were hit by enemy ships like a cruiser all the way to a big battleship.
Interesting I didn't know that
So there's a book called, "the last stand of the Tin can sailors." And it talks about the entire conflict between literally tin cans turning an entire Japanese navy battleship group.
