Hmm i notice many of you said yes... i dont know why...
First of all it depends what beach you landed at, omaha was by far the most violent with over 1400 dead, but i dont think the other ones saw that much action. Ive seen live footage of soldiers walking out of the boat, with a guy dropping to the ground, lifeless, a few times, but nothing serious. I would have like to experience it but only if i had some sort of god mode, because im pretty damn sure i would have been killed, im not lucky very often. Plus, the life expectancy was 6 minutes after the doors opened on the higgins boats.... Another down side would be the horrid scenes like ppl losing limbs, guts torn out, brains poping out, etc,etc...
So no, i wouldnt have volunteered, but i also think you got drafted for such a big operation, i doubt you had i say in this.
