The Ardennes looked like a very cold place to fight a war.  No colder than Jotenheim in winter where the King of the Front Giants, Thrym, once stole Thor's Hammer - Mjollnir -  and paid for it with his life.  Those were the days.  The Battle of the Bulge seemed pretty tame in comparison.  But those were mortal men and, I suppose [though Vidar hates to suppose] for mortals, it was a great battle. 

Iwo Jima was a bad ass battle as well. 

This episode was long and Vidar kept falling asleep.  But I had a feeling the allies were going to win especially with Tom Hanks voice reading all that patriotic stuff.

Vidar - The Norse God of Silence

So this is Episode 5 of Ken Burns' The War  I'm a little late into reviewing this series.  I don't even know what FUBAR means.  But I looked it up - "Fucked Up Beyond Repair" - I'm not sure what the 'A' stands for.

I had no idea World War 2 such a big deal.  I don't want to say this is a LONG documentary... but the Norse Gods and I were able to avenge Baldar's death in a shorter time.

Is it just me, Vidar - the Silent God - or does it seem strange whenever a minority soldier is depicted.  It almost seems like an afterthought - which seems very racist to me.  Yes, I'm sure there were Eskimo soldiers, Manitoban soldiers, Kentuckians, etc. - but, man, stop preaching! 

AND THERE'S STILL 4 HOURS TO GO!
