This Sarge is what every squad need! Haven't seen such great Sergeant in a long while. Very typically strong, iron willed, tough, great discipline (both mentally and physically) and brutally no nonsense. Besides his every man, give this sarge a credit, great leadership displayed here! Very accurate and Badass! PS - he would definitely be Sgt. Rock if this was of DC universe.
The carnage of the Battle of Okinawa (the worst battle of the Pacific War), and the carnage of the other battles in the Pacific, were the context in which the atomic bombings -- and the non-atomic bombings of Japan -- took place. (I say that as a man who is married to a Japanese woman, and who has in-laws in Japan, and who has travelled to Japan several times.). A conventional invasion of the main islands of Japan would have been Okinawa times a hundred. And it it hadn't been for the bombings -- and for the Soviet invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria -- that land invasion would have occurred, and besides killing an enormous number of Americans, it would have killed moreJapanese civilians than were killed in the bombings. War is hell, and therefore hellish tactics that shorten a war are necessary.
Сотни тысяч людей по всему миру гибнут от «демократических ценностей», навязываемых США и западным миром в целом. Может, следуя вашей логике, стереть с лица земли Вашингтон, Брюссель, Лондон, Париж и Берлин? Что на это скажете?
Great movie about Desmond Doss but no way a bazooka blows up a bunker like the start of the clip lol. It's an anti tank weapon and the explosive charge barely rivals a grenade when used as anti infantry. You may use one to neutralize an MG nest but it's not gonna blow up a whole house and everyone around it like it seems here. They'd have to be storing amounts of high explosives right next to the MG for that kind of reaction and that's generally considered a bad idea.
Yeah, most people don't realize that anti-tank weapons are pressure weapons that kill by shooting a concentrated stream of molten metal that punches through tank armor and kills all those inside due to the overpressure created within the enclosed crew spaces.
@@JFS3 I mean sorta you're only half right, portable anti-tank weapons aren't capable of causing crew compartment overpressure like you think. There's a well documented account I read where a Sherman was penetrated by a panzerschreck. Only the radio operator died because he was directly in line of fire. All other crew survived without wounds, and the only really significant effect from the weapon was killing that one man and setting his clothes on fire. Oh, and a small hole in the side of the turret as well, of course. You generally hope you hit an important crew member, equipment, or the big bang ammo storage.
@@RussOlson-pl3kf it's a movie trope that is extremely tired. It gives the idea that man portable anti-armor weapons can blow up entire houses. They really can't. It takes some other explosives/incendiaries being present and a huge stroke of luck. Even if enemy HE materiel is present it's still likely it won't even go off unless hit directly. Tanks hit by bazookas for instance do not suffer catastrophic damage unless something critical is in the direct line of fire. Soldiers were taught where ammo was stored for this reason so they could aim at it. HEAT is a very specific purpose explosive. A bazooka as anti-infantry is still extremely effective, as it concusses and suppresses the troops near the blast long enough for attacking troops to get fire superiority and assault the bunker in close quarters with frags, flamethrowers, etc. but if you shoot a bazooka at a bunker the absolute most likely thing to happen is the machine gun stops firing for a minute and you better have planned what to do next, before someone gets back on the MG there. It was the equivalent of a hand grenade in anti-infantry use, just point-delivered from a distance. Not a big fireball boom, just a big puff of smoke and noise, and whoever is close to it gets one hell of a headache if they're not dead/unconscious
@@davidhoward4715 Desmond Doss is a medic. He followed his faith, got hated on, beat, persecuted, and almost got throw in jail. He kept his faith even through combat and was about to save around 200 lives. Earned the respect all the way up to his BC.
It's stylized, but imo this is one of the best depictions of the Battle of Okinawa. It's brutal and chaotic, and it really captures the overall feel of the fighting on Okinawa.
@@DarthBigga Are you saying that blacks are incompetent and can't fight courageously on the frontlines? Also, Allied war crimes pale in comparison to Unit 731, the Holocaust, the Sook Ching Massacres, the Rapes of Nanking and Manila, and countless other atrocities committed by the Japanese and the Germans. Look at the death count of Allied civilians to see that one side was clearly purposely evil.
I would feel pretty confident if they gave me a Tommy gun in a battle like this. A full auto 45 cal is a solid weapon for trench warfare and close quarters combat. BAR is too bulky and burns ammo too fast.
I know personally of an instance in Grenada of an Army Ranger running out of ammunition grabbing his M16 by the barrel and using it as a club. At the moment burning his hands was the furthest from his mind.
Its a good movie but a lot of the battle scenes are absurd. You can't fire a BAR one handed with a molecule of accuracy. You don't pull grenade pins with your teeth unless you want to lose them. For the 700th time too flamethrowers don't explode if they're hit with a bullet. Sure aerosol gas could hiss out but it doesn't explode and engulf everyone in flame. It's all the same Hollywood war movie stuff.
Американцы прямо герои. Хотел бы посмотреть нечто подобное в документальном фильме. Голливуд воюет хорошо... Больше всего янки бомбить умели. Например Дрезден, Хиросиму и Нагасаки... Что касается боёв, так драпальщики они хорошие. Афган им в помощь
