re: Would you rather have gone “over the top” in WWI or been on the first wave on D-Day?

WWI was crazy. Americans generally ignore it because we were not a major contributor to it. The sheer scope of death on the frontlines was staggering.

Another note on the discussion, going over the top in WWI would mean facing frontline troops where in WW2, the German Army was being bled dry in the Eastern Front.

The real question is whether you would rather go over the top in WWI or face a banzai charge in WW2.
