Oooh the ask game you reblogged is delicious. May I ask:

28. Favourite “dream team” of specific era or the entire history?

Helloooo sweet friend!!! Thanks for the ask!!

28. Favorite "dream team" of a specific era or the entire history?

Okay, so I am so torn rn...I want to say my beloved BoB boys, but at the same time, I also want to say my Mota boys....so I'll say both. Without the Mighty Eighth's numerous (and deadly) missions to destroy the Luftwaffe in early 1944, the Allied landing at Normandy wouldn't have been possible. So in a way, the 8th and the 101st Airborne were the dream team because they worked together (kind of) to make D-Day successful!!

Numbers 1 and 25 for the historical ask! Wondering if we could change #1 to be favorite historical woman!! 🖤

Hello!! I love these questions!!

Who is your favorite historical woman?

Okay, there are so, so many, but one of my favorites is actually Abigail Adams! When the Constitution was being written, she constantly nagged her husband (John Adams) to "remember the ladies!" Even though he ✨ didn't ✨ I love her bravery in fighting for the rights of women even in the 1770s & 80s.

25. Most overrated historical figure in your opinion?

Okay, no offense to my British friends on here, but I think Neville Chamberlain is one of the most overrated historical figures. He let Hitler get exactly what he wanted leading up to WW2, even if he didn't realize it, ofc (and was being played by Hitler). Appeasement clearly didn't work, and the Czech people paid the price of the Munich Agreement exactly one year before Hitler invaded Poland in '39.

#sorry not sorry #hindsight is 20/20 but i still think the man had no balls to stand up to hitler #history asks

2, 9, 11 for the history asks!

Hiiii!! Thanks for the ask!!

2. What is your country most famous for in history?

Okay, so I'm American, and we're probably most famous for joining WW2 after Pearl Harbor or dropping the atomic bomb on Japan.

9. Favorite historical film?

I have too many answers for this...but I could watch BoB, Mota, Hacksaw Ridge, and Saving Private Ryan a million times and never get tired of them.

11. Have you participated in reenactment? What was it like?

I have never personally participated in a reenactment, but I would totally be down for it! I was just talking about this to @footprintsinthesxnd the other day lol!

Thanks again!! <3

Also the saddest thing about the post credits for me is that the only other fucking adult in this show besides Rosie Rosenthal, Buck Cleven, got rewards for his time in the Air Force by his wife unexpectedly passing away after eight years and him keeping her photograph on his mantle for roughly the next sixty, and then his best fucking friend dying at 45 in 1961, leaving him to navigate the next roughly fifty plus years alone
