I was just watching on the history channel the ambush of general Yamamoto with P38 lightnings.I started thinking it would have sucked to be there with the heat,malaria and mosquitos in the pacific.
Out of curiousity,if you were given a choice of what theater of battle you could have fought in as a grunt,Marine or Army which would you have chosen and why?,which weapon -small arm (including machine gun) would you have prefered to carry?
I ask WW2 because it was world wide,other wars have been limited in area.Europe,South Pacific,Africa.I realize if you choose Marine then you are mostly limited to the pacific theater.
If there are any WW2 vets here,I know you may not have had choice but a opinion would be nice.
Me? I would have chosen Italy- Europe I hate to say for less than patriotic reasons,as I would have hated the hot Pacific and would have prefered my R&R with Italian- europe ladies.Guess I would have prefered a Garand as my weapon and the stopping power of 30-06.
just out of curiousity?
btw international members are welcome to answer also.
