I know in the subs it is fixed, but I was thrown off when you mentioned CVN-72 beginning her fourth deployment in June of 1988. Glad to see it was corrected in the subtitles however. Diggin the short5 min tops reviews. Keep it up!

Liked the info; absolutely detested the background "music". It reminded me of the noise prisoners of war have to endure. It also sounds very much like mind control, subliminally embedded, quasi MK Ultra stuff. Do you get the fact that I found it offensive. The question is what is your purpose for the distraction? Sinister, or personal preference? Rethink it if you are assuming it adds something to your video. It kept me from LIKING you. If you have been military, you probably know that this type of music is a substitute for the massive adrenalin rushes you have lived with. What you may not have been told is that it will probably undermine your balance, or put another way, your peace.

Thanks for the insightful info and your time. I wish you well.
