Re: Where would YOU serve in WW2?
Well, I must say that I prefer the Arctic!
The freezing cold of the Arctic has many advantages:
No mud, no mosquitos, no flies, no snakes, no spiders, no crocodiles, no rotten food and no stench from decaying bodies!
When you get used to the cold, it is actually comfortable. The body adapts to the below-zero-temperatures, and after a while you need less clothing as your system starts to produce more heat.
You can eat as much as you want without gaining weight!
You make igloos (a kind of snow houses) or dig down into a snow drift.
The snow insulates, and the temperature inside is around freezing point, which is comfortable.
Having spent most of my lifetime above the Arctic Circle, I know this climate and feel comfortable with it.
Nothing is like an Arctic winter night, full moon and just the ice cold, deep frozen silence!
