    The Army carried the victory on Okinawa at the Shuri line. See 96th Division also the main line of resistance was met in the south before the Marines even arrived south.

    The ships were loaded with large shells that could have cleared that hill where so many of our men were killed in minutes.

      wow i wonder why none of the 1000s of commanders on the scene didnt think to ask you what to do!!

    • @johe90
      @johe90 3 месяца назад

      @@andyk55 bc there were 1000s of commanders on the scene...Those big shells are not super accurate and you could easily lose as many men from Blue Falcons than from enemy contact.

    I’m sure a narrator could do better than AI and pass-ed. Seriously the topic is so well covered that it is a crying shame you abuse the narrative with AI.

      @johe90 3 месяца назад

      If I had to guess, a japanese person made this. Cant admit that in reality, yes it was a hard fought battle, but in the end, we killed many many many more of them than they did Americans.

    Hey I think your ai narrator had a stroke towards the end of this one. The bad pronunciation ruined my immersion.
    Excellent story though

  • @edcew8236
    @edcew8236 3 месяца назад +4

    The machine-read pronunciation is hysterically bad.

  • @johe90

    This should be titled "We wished the japanese won, but they instead they got stomp fkd" Like seriously, from how you people present this info you would think the japanese won every battle including the ensuing war.
