<HTML>Hi Bill,
I completely agree. Enlisted men tend to do things like that under conditions like those but officers are normally far more reserved in public. What's more it is this scene that most former U-boat men I have talked to object to. Seeing their officers portrayed this way is taken as an insult.
As a former enlisted man in the U.S. Marine Corps I would also prefer not to see my officers depicted this way.
