Europe, easily. War is absolutely hell, but the brutality in the pacific just seemed to be on a different level.

Wermacht eventually started surrendering. IJA wasn't having that shite.

Gotta say Marines and European....i hate the weather side of it but i feel as though the support was there more in EU than in PAC.

neither would be any good and both would be hell honestly.

Definitely Europe. Brutality was less for the most part and I'd prefer to have seen Europe in war time. No doubt guys that served in the Pacific saw amazing things too, but seeing Europe during a defining period of world history would have been, at least in some ways, amazing.

Submarine Service

Less than 1% of the US Naval personnel were submariners, yet their sacrifices contributed to a staggering 55% of all merchant shipping lost by the Japanese.

~16% of all US submariners perished in WWII.

52 subs on eternal patrol.
