In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast, Blake, Chase, Tim, and O.V. discuss what role we'd like to serve in during any war.

Many veterans today are so intrigued by military history, they've considered what war they feel like they missed out on. Although when (hypothetically) given the opportunity to change from their real life MOS to whatever occupation they wanted, the podcast crew surprisingly decided to stick to their original area of expertise.

"I would still select the Navy, and it would be during World War II on a battleship like the USS Iowa," O.V. proudly stated.

As it turns out, everyone reverted to what he knows best. Blake, a combat camera veteran with the Air Force, chose to be a combat cameraman but also opted to serve during World War II.

"If I were going to go back and be a combat cameraman, I would want to land at D-Day," Stilwell said. "I wouldn't mind dying as long as my footage got back. That's the whole point!"
