It was really heroic of those guys to go kill Nazis, but it's not good to have D-Days. We should not strive for D-Day toughness. Especially anymore where you have drones, snipers, and Minecraft redstone contraptions everywhere. Like getting sober is a heroic thing to do, especially as a struggle, but never abusing alcohol in the first place would likely have been gentler on the soul. I only bring up the example to say that not having Nazis in power in the first place means not having to rouse an army to resist them and then there wouldn't be a multi-country wide, multi-generational psychological scar about having to be shot at in a boat. We'd be better off not ever having to know what it's like firsthand. I've never broken my leg and I don't need to experience it myself to understand it's something to avoid if I can help it.

And if I'm being real, if I had literally no choice, I suppose I'm capable of shitting myself in a boat, getting out, and getting shot. It's not like it's a physically demanding thing to die and if you don't then you were what? Sitting in a hole? Running up the beach with a gun? You could be part of the writhing mass of damned poor souls. But, again, what if we just didn't damn souls? That's the sad and horrible part of d-day. It's not like more masculine energy was going to deflect the bullets and explosions
