TBH, I think they were screwed over by their command.

Asking a lightly armed dinghy to take on a gun-boat is a bit much.
I'm sure every generation thinks servicemen of yore were tougher. Victorian army officers probably thought their troops had it cushy compared with the yeomen who fought at Agincourt (and maybe they'd have been right).
But you can only fight your own battles, and when you're in combat it must feel pretty tough going at the time in any age.
P.S. I'm sure shrapnel from a roadside bomb in Iraq hurts much the same as a splinter from a broadside at Trafalgar, or an arrow at Hastings.

The difference is then the psychotic hard men were in the army, now they are on the chav council estates selling drugs.
