And it was particularly bad on D-day. (remember the vomiting in the landing boats on Saving Private Ryan?)



Not arguing your point about the rough seas, but I think the vomiting was symbolic of them being scared shitless more than sea sickness.

But it was a BIG talking point in historical recounts how they gave the infantry a big breakfast the day of the invasion....only to have most of them puke it up in transit.
