Where do they store the life boats?
oh right, they don't have any, they start the battle pre-sunk anyway so why
bother.
Your point is? Far better men than you have gone to sea knowing they
were risking their lives for a cause and accepting that risk. And BTW
that's only the first verse. You're mentioned in the second verse.

Most people have no idea what attention to detail and expertise it takes
to dive a boat and return to the top safely. My old boss's son (a
construction engineer) is planning to build a sub out of a salvaged 500
gallon propane tank. He's likely to auto-darwinate.
While I have immense respect for anyone who went in harms way in the
service of our country, the WWII submarine memorial at Seal Beach really
gets to me. It's a very simple place, just a series of plaques listing
the names of the crews of each boat lost. We owe those men a lot.
