  1. @Drachinifel I wanted to address your comment about the fact that people that are subscribed to your channel NOT getting notifications when 5 minute guides are released. It seems that I might be having a similar problem. BUT I think it has to do with lots & lots of 10-15 second shorts that if you make the mistake of liking one of those shorts you bombarded with so many that almost everything else gets lost in the abundance of more & more shorts. So anyone having the problem of NOT seeing your stuff as soon as it is released may want to start "removing shorts" from their watch history. IT DOES REALLY HELP!!

  2. I also wanted to address something that you related to in Drydock 127 about the basic human nature of people suffering is NOT a good thing. And it reminded me of a US submarine Captain machine gunning survivors in the water. And, although he thought they were Japanese Army a good many of them were actually POW's from India, I think. And you also remarked that he actually received a medal for doing this. When in actuality he should have been reprimanded for it. Or he should have taken as many survivors as he could on board or something rather than killing them in the water. But, yeah, I live in the US but in no way am I delusional about right & wrong. And it's difficult to try to argue that the US Submarine Captain was right to kill those people. Although I do understand that he thought they were Japanese troops & wanted to kill them in order to save American troops. That still doesn't make it right. From a "naval" perspective of course it's about sinking ships & not about killing as many people as you can. But also from the Japanese point of view they were TRYING to kill as many Americans as they could in the hope that the war would become too costly for the USA in the amount of lives being lost in the hopes the USA would broker a peace agreement favorable to the Japanese. But that doesn't mean that Kamikaze's were a good thing either. And yeah, I totally agree that human suffering should be looked at as, those terribly unfortunate people! And sometimes during war people do the right & honorable thing. And sometimes they don't. And sometimes there are just circumstances that keep sailors from doing what should be done. Like rescuing survivors from Bismark. It was a good thing that they rescued as many as they did. But unfortunately they didn't rescue all of them. And as cold as that water was it was practically a death sentence for those that were left in the water. And that is a very unfortunate thing. Yeah, regardless of what side you are on, looking at history and hearing about humans suffering, & relating that story to others, I totally agree that sailors needlessly suffering a cruel fate should be looked at from a human perspective rather than they were "the enemy" so their suffering was a good thing!
