#2 This is great stuff. I was born shortly after WWII ended; but I am grateful to all the brave men who fought and died so that I could grow up not speaking German or Japanese.

#4 Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, Hornfischer.

Slightly off topic, anyone else apprehensive about the coming Midway movie?

First, don't remake a classic.

Second, whats up with the Call of Duty video game noises and briefing graphics and crap? When Wonder Woman does better period re-enactment than your period re-enactment, flags get thrown mate. I would bet a doughnut that sometime in the movie an overhead view from a then unobtainable altitude will zoom in to a ship's con tower.

I would like to see this battle be made into a movie, but nice and dry like The Great Raid *without the damn love story*. I hate how movie makers think that they have to add tons of machines in a scene and give them flying physics of a free smart phone game. People spends thousands to create ship replicas a la Ben Hur to sail around and shoot ball bearings at each other - hybrid that real world with computer enhancements, not some overpaid dweeb downloading skins from World of Warships and letting marketing try to convince you the new Clash of the Titans is superior to the original.
