And you know what? I like it that way.

I saw a sub training demonstration on a news show a while back where they put a group of guys in a tank that looked a little like a stairwell, started flooding it with water, and had them locate and shut off valves before they 'drowned'.
I think I'd prefer crawling face up under razor wire with bullets whizzing past my nose.
BTW, whats long and hard and full of seamen?
