this was a good telling of actual events of d-day.

War is hell. retelling is is almost as hell. but,,,
what i hated of this movie was seeing how the attack on d-day was so much like shooting fish in a barrel. how badly our side messed up our own soldiers. the landing boats were so stupidly designed. opening from the front instead of the side using the front as cover until it was somewhat safer to disembark. like shooting fish in a barrel. they were fish. the boats were the barrel. why couldnt the boats have landed and then soldiers fired from there for their own cover? why couldnt a lot of thing happened that could have not ended is such a huge loss of life?
how many died by the overly simplistic strategy of flooding the beach until the enemy was overrun?
artillery by land. by ship. bombs by plane. were used but, this battle was sloppy. i know all the other details about this battle. all the hardships and time constraints due to the weather. but there was no lack of time for planning. so what happened? they claimed they didnt know how much defence were waiting for them on the beach. for all they already knew, how is this true?
the higher ups didnt care about the expendable individual. how many did they think was needed? add enough more to make sure it works. it did work.
