america had 8 aircraft carriers when it entered the war when it finished the war almost 4 years later, it had 99
The people that fought in ww2 are the definition of badass
Japan: blows up a few boats America: *casually destroys 40 years of imperial expansion in 4 years
"We destroyed the mighty American Navy" fast forward - The FUCKING SUN......TWICE -
The Day the world had witness the Awakening Of A Giant.
Fun Fact about D-DAY The USS Texas, a Battleship at Normandy, deliberately began to sink its self so it could get its cannon to the right angle to make it's shot. The Texas survived this event, and is now a ship museum on the Texas coast. (I think it's going in galveston after repairs) Edit: Thank you everyone for the corrections in the replies :)
16-30 year old men did some fucking legendary shit. The scale of this conflict is so hard to comprehend without having seen it

"A seven nation army couldn't hold me back" describes the US military so well
Moral of the story: Don’t fuck with Americas boats
Non-Americans listening to Seven Nation Army: "It's a metaphor you see..." Americans listening to Seven Nation Army: "What the fuck is a metaphor."
My great grandfather would love this edit, his generation was so badass
i thought modern America/NATO edits hit hard, but this hits HARDER.
POV: japns sinks 22 American navy vessels. Two days later: “THIER BACK WITH 78 OF THEM”
“I am afraid we have awoken a sleeping giant…”
i love how we beat Japan so hard nobody talks about the losses for America and only Japan just because of how significant the difference was. 100k Americans died 2m Japanese guys died and they lost 2 cities not even talking about the missing guys, aircraft, boats, etc
