Hey everyone just wanted to do a quick apology. I mistakenly referred to Marines as 'soldiers' earlier, and I know that’s not right. I understand the difference and I’m sorry this slipped through the cracks. I definitely respect the unique identity of the Marines, and I appreciate all of your service. Thanks for understanding!

@nicholaswalsh4462 3 часа назад

I've heard it described thusly: History doesn't care about realism. And that is true. Whether it is Audie Murphy in Italy, who had to cut about half of his Medal of Honor heroics from his biopic to avoid alienating the audience, to the utter insanity that was the Marines at Chosin, and even to stuff like Rorke's Drift or Daniel Inouye. History doesn't care about realism.

@jforozco12 2 часа назад

i think you mistake realism for verosimilitude but I get your point. History is not a movie genre, things that actually happen can be very far from what people expect or think possible. There's a common quote that puts it brilliantly: "truth is stranger than fiction."

@nicholaswalsh4462 2 часа назад

@jforozco12 verisimilitude is the idea that stuff within a story makes sense in the context of said story. Realism is more about whether one can believe that such a thing can actually happen in real life. Magic isn't realistic but it can still be made to make sense within the context of a story. But history, quite often, blatantly REFUSES to make any sort of sense in any sort of context.

Very underrated series! Really unfair that that it was compared to Band of Brothers condescendingly. Yes it was during the same period but in a different theatere of WW2 which next to the Eastern Front saw some of the most brutal fighting of the war. I believe the Pacific showed how vicious WW2 really was.

@moonasha 3 часа назад

it definitely deserved a darker tone. The fight in the Pacific was just an uglier more horrible fight compared to the Western Front of Europe, which might even be called gentlemanly in comparison. There was just an animosity in the Pacific that wasn't there in Europe (except between the Soviets and Germany) If you read Eugene Sledge's book, which the show was based on, they nailed it, mostly. It was just horrific. So I think it's silly that people didn't like the tone of the show. I don't know what they expected

Fantastic as always. Both my grandfathers fought in the Pacific. One a Navy veteran of Coral Sea and Guadalcanal (his ship managed to detonate a Japanese destroyer) the other fighting with the 3rd Marine Division after surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor. I agree with you and Dale Dye. A convincing combat veteran on screen is something only total immersion into the culture and time period and respect of those they are portraying can produce. Also, tbh, I wish there would be a series aboout the Naval war and the Africa and Italy campaigns.

while i cannot recommend this show on the same lines of Band of Brothers. what i can recommend is the book "with the old breed at peleliu and okinawa" that Eugene Sledge, wrote after the war. the main fault of the show imo, is that it had too large of a cast. if it had followed Sledge and Sanfu, and had john basilone as a side story. i think the over all show would have worked a lot better.
