The Most Unexpected American Hero of WW2
April 1945, the hills of San Terenzo, Italy, are alive with the clash of battle as American forces engage the heavily defended Gothic Line. In this critical moment, Lieutenant Daniel Inouye and his platoon from the 442nd Infantry Regiment find themselves pinned down by intense machine gun fire emanating from a robust German bunker.
Amidst the chaos, Inouye quickly takes command, signaling his men to push forward. They sprint across the open ground, dodging bursts of bullets that kick up mud around their boots. A bullet strikes Inouye in the stomach, but the pain only sharpens his focus. He presses on, leading his men with urgency toward the enemy positions.
As they close in on the bunker, Inouye expertly handles his Tommy submachine gun, laying down a suppressing fire to cover their advance. He then successfully hurls two grenades, which explode with a deafening roar, silencing two of the machine gun nests that had been raining bullets upon them.
With one nest still spewing gunfire, Inouye readies another grenade, pulling the pin as he braces to launch it toward the enemy. As he draws his arm back, an unseen German soldier a short distance away prepares his rifle grenade.
The explosion erupts near Inouye just as he is about to throw his own grenade. The blast sends shockwaves through the ground, and amidst the chaos and rising dust, Inouye feels a searing pain. Time slows as he processes the gravity of the situation, realizing with a sinking feeling the horrifying and imminent danger that now lies next to him…

As dawn broke over a quiet village in Normandy in 1944, a beast hid among the ruins of a shattered farm, patiently awaiting the advancing Canadian forces and armor. Then, when they were finally within range, the concealed terror opened fire. Two consecutive shots resulted in two burning Shermans: their crews were gone entirely. Then, the vehicle emerged from the ruins: it was a Tiger II, comman...

    I mean he's cool as fuck, don't get me wrong, but the THC wore off the second he stepped in to battle and the adrenaline hit him. 1970's weed and todays weed are two different animals, but even today, if you smoke, end up in a bad situation, the adrenalin kicks in, and you cant feel the weed anymore. Adrenalin is WAY stronger.

    We made two uraniaum bombs and one plutonium bomb.

There were not 'dozens of additional bombs" that is a flat-out lie.

    "if you want to feel what its like to climb inside a t64" - first of you never get that feeling as in world of tanks you are basically a tank, secondly you need to add a clausul, like for instance - according to the russians who made the game. So playing any of these games; wot, dcs, anything russian will NOT give you an accurate experience of the vehicle.
