I also paused to remember the guys who hit the beachs on d-day all those years ago..
What sticks in my mind is the scene in SPR when the gang plank on the landing craft dropped down, and we all know what happened then.
That scene and what followed honestly put me into a kind of shock when I saw it at the movies for the first time. I reckon my jaw was hitting the floor, I know I was crouching in my chair to instinctively take "cover" from the surround sound bullets but what was the outstanding thing was the panic I was feeling for those guys. My brain was shouting "do something, do something!" as they huddled behind the pitifully small cover the landing craft obstacles offered them..My girlfriend cried and I did'nt really talk to anyone for about 3 days. No-one ever deserves to be put through that kind of ****. SPR is the only video I have ever bought to keep, more of a reminder that war sucks,but playing war(CM) can be cool.
It's kind of eerie, enjoying playing so much something that represents something so terrible. Still, I reckon I can live with myself. Hats off to the veterans!
