Listen to me, and trust that the first 5 minutes WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED! You gotta watch and react now, because season 2 starts in January! Oh yeah, and there’s a HUGE REVEAL that you WILL NOT SEE COMING!

The thing about the rain driving marines crazy…. I had a friend whose grandfather was in the marines during WW2. 40-50 years later he still had a cot in his basement next to the furnace that he would go down to because he could not stand to sleep during a heavy rainstorm upstairs with the rain hitting the ceiling and walls …

@dillonsronce2583 Год назад

My grandpa was a marine corps vet based on Guam, he was never able to have an mri since those make so much noise and they reminded him of all the machine gun noise and bombs at Guam.

@arrrgee Год назад

They used to fly a betty bomber over Guadalcanal nicknamed "Washing Machine Charlie" where the engines were kept out of sync to make a noise that kept the Marines awake, where Leckie talks about the death of sleep, it's a true story.

@-NiamhWitch- Год назад

"Is that nicer than stabbing?" No. No it's not. It's a war crime. So, cinematically, I like Band of Brothers more... however, there are a few things I love more about The Pacific... (1) I come from a Marine Corps family and have been around the Marine Corps my entire life, so I find The Pacific to be more familiar to me. Many of these characters remind me of various Marines that have been in my life; (2) I like that The Pacific shows the psychological toll this kind of warfare can have on the mind. We saw touches of it in BoB, but The Pacific really delved into it; and (3) I love that it showed how the psychological affects can really change "good" men and really suck the soul out of them and turn them into monsters. The Pacific doesn't treat all the Americans like they are bastions of morality. War can corrupt the mind beyond all repair. The scene where the person in charge of Leckie steals his chest... I like this scene a lot. It really shows that not every leader is like Winters from BoB. I'm reminded of when Winters told Buck, "Never put yourself in a position to steal from these men", and here is this POS literally stealing from his own men. Using his position to boost himself and tear others down. Piece of garbage.

@saharafox8209 Год назад

Band of brothers like you said touches on the psychological aspect but more about the family bonds built the Pacific is about the mental breakdown they all faced I know what you mean about band of brothers it was a far cleaner show

@kvoltti Год назад

@@saharafox8209 I think that's a function of the single source for the show. Band of Brothers is about one unit through the war. The Pacific is based on three sources. The Pacific weas a meat grinder. There was no single story that goes from the beginning of the war to the end that was in active combat.

@qburns2035 Год назад

When Leckie wanted to leave it makes you think about what seeing other men broken can do to you. This also shows what Guarnere meant when he was talking to Heffron about Buck changing in BoB. He told Babe "It wasn't getting shot in Holland that got to em, it was being in that hospital. I know, Ive been there. It aint pretty."

@notthestatusquo7683 Год назад

Bayonetting them is also a war crime. You're supposed to give aid to wounded enemy. As shown in the Guadalcanal episode though, very quickly they realized that the Japs would exploit the rules of war and not surrender regardless so they threw the rule book out and decided not to take prisoners (which is itself a war crime.) Perfectly understandable but nonetheless very illegal. The US had signed the Geneva convention and was obligated to follow the rules regardless of whether their enemy had or did.

@Mr.Ekshin Год назад

@@notthestatusquo7683 - The US, Germany AND JAPAN were all signatories to the Geneva Conventions of 1929, which were the protocols in effect during WWII. But yeah, both Germany and Japan seemed perfectly willing to break every protocol of these conventions as well as all the other agreements and treaties they had previously signed pre-war. In fact, just arming to the level they did before the war was a major breach of global peace treaties. - PS - Killing a wounded guy isn't a breach, as he hasn't "surrendered" per the verbiage of the conventions. Almost no Japanese were known to have surrendered. So yeah... they were considered active combatants, especially seeing as a lot of these wounded guys would try to detonate grenades when you approached.

After the war, millions of American troops kept the PTSD inside. No one took them seriously. Mental health is so important. After you're done with this series, I recommend you react to "He Has Seen War".

@mediumvillain Год назад

Psychology hadnt developed the vocabulary for it bc of old-fashioned thinking about strength & weakness. In WWI they called soldiers w PTSD "shell-shocked" like they'd just been rattled too much. It wasnt until decades later there was any common understanding or acknowledgment of the psychological effects of trauma. Macho chauvinist military dogma treated it as a personal character issue and even to this day can be said to be resistant to providing the kind of psychological treatment necessary, or more specifically, resistant to the idea that human beings should not and cannot be repeatedly traumatized and still expected to be effective

It really puts it into perspective, at least the guys in western Europe were dealing with weather and things they weren't unfamiliar with and every now and than liberated a town where the people greeted them as heroes and fed them, the guys in the pacific were fighting over tiny islands no one ever heard off with weather no humans could live through and after capturing that island it was onto the next one

Army infantry here. BoB is great, but the Pacific is something else. I think this is mainly bc in BoB, most of the guys were still alive, hence why there weren't many war crimes shown. In the Pacific, most were dead, which is why you get to see the true brutality of the raiders. And from this episode, it only gets worse.

@gijoemasters 17 дней назад

I mean in BoB they show the looting of the dead and taking home trophies which technically are crimes, just that the army really couldn't do anything to stop them. Not to mention Speirs shooting unarmed prisoners of war. Yes I know that was the Airborne's standing orders for D-Day was no prisoners but is still a war crime.

@wordword6039 Год назад

And yet some of these Marines not only dealt with all the horrors of WWII. Some particularly within the 1st Marine Division stayed in and went through Korea and even Vietnam. I knew a WWII Marine who did just that. He told me one of the reasons he stayed in the Marines was he couldnt sleep without Marines around him. Grown gray in war absolutely is a true statement for some.

@misterRDF Год назад

Around 2005 I believe, I worked in an Elderly care home as a nutritionist. Under my care, I worked with many WW2 vets from both sides of the theater. Everyone who served in the Pacific still had great animosity toward the Japanese people. I would spend a lot of time talking with the residents, learning as much as I could about their stories. A giant of a man, in particular, Mr. Hennessy was a Marine during some of the battles you will come to in the series. Through talking to him over the years I worked there, he witnessed some truly horrendous stuff he said he could never forgive, or forget. When he came home, he became a police officer, and had a fairly normal life, but admitted a part of him never came home from those days. I remember, one time in particular in the main dining room a young lady named, Janet came over with his meal as I was sitting with him. He coldly looked at her and said "I killed a lot of you". The look in his eye was unsettling (never mind the words). He'd mistaken Janet for Japanese albeit she was Filipina. Some of the veterans from the European Theater were either very silent about their time there or spoke about it like no big thing. But, every marine I had met at Lifecare from WW2 had an intense dislike for the Japanese. For some people, their scars never heal.

I noticed during the scene when the Marines were on patrol and they came across a "fake" artillery piece and "fake" Japanese soldiers made out of branches, you had a confused look on your face. I don't know if you knew what that was, or if you were actually confused, so I thought I'd explain. Often in war/conflict you try to confuse your enemy by pretending to have more men, more equipment, more supplies than you actually have. When a plane, high up, is flying a reconnaissance mission and looking for the enemy, gathering some logs and branches and making them look like an artillery piece with soldiers around can easily fool a pilot, high up, thinking that it's real. Trying to deceive the enemy this way has happened throughout history and still is very important today. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't know if you were confused by this scene or if you actually knew, but just in case I thought I'd explain.

That was the one they called Frenchie, that shot himself. I grew up on the southern Oregon coast, is a temperate rainforest. When I lived there, we got over 100” of rain a year, every fall and winter the whole valley would flood, people would take John boats to town at times, depending on how bad it got. Basically we got another Great Lake, for like 3-5 months a year. The whole coast, there all the way up to Seattle and what not in Washington has the highest suicide rate due to weather, grey, cloudy, darker and lots of rain. I personally love that weather and environment, but wasn’t as hot, as a jungle, though was just as wet as a lot of them. Well usually not as hot, the end part of summer in September for us, could get really hot up in the smaller valleys, and 80-100% humidity. Have been in some jungle environments, they aren’t very fun, it’s pretty much the Everglades. But worse, haha.

@Thane36425 Год назад

The Japanese tended to not show much tactical flexibility. They frequently repeated attacks over and over again, as has been seen in this series. Sometimes the terrain all but dictated this, but not always. Poor communications capability was another factor. Poor logistics was still another. But mostly it was probably poor doctrine and strict adherence to it.

@agp11001 11 месяцев назад

Damn right, the Japanese had quite a few losses in the war due to their rigid adherence to doctrine. Midway was another prime example which had catastrophic consequences.

18:28 Lebec participated in the 1942 Dieppe raid. Think of it as D-Day before D-Day ever happened. It was a massive failure and many men were killed, so the Allies took Dieppe as a lesson to be learned, making sure D-Day would be as successful as possible, which it was although at a high cost of human lives. I pity Lebec because he must have seen many of his fellow Canadians die in France only to be sent to the Pacific, forced to do nothing but be tormented by the constant rain.

Many left World War 2 in a condition best described as 'being on razor's edge'. The horrors of war scared those who served. The war in Europe was horrific as any. But the war in the Pacific took it up 3 levels. The Japanese were beyond brutal, they were almost primal savage. The entire Pacific had another problem. The vast ocean. The U.S.S. Indianapolis. Sharks killed the majority of the crew. Honestly, I don't know how they dealt with it back then, no therapy to really speak of. People were expected to just deal with it on their own.

So the pistol that Leckie finds and then later trades to the doctor for getting out of the hospital early never actually belonged to Leckie it belonged to one of his friends. The story is Leckie’s friend got himself in some trouble so he gave Leckie his prize trophy pistol so he wouldn’t have it confiscated by the MPs. Leckie then brought the pistol with him to the hospital where the story of him scaring the nurse to death is apparently true. After his stint in the hospital Leckie would, instead of trading it to the doctor, would bring the pistol back with him and give it back to his friend after returning to his unit.

If y’all get the Chance y’all need to read Robert lackies book “helmet for my pillow”. It goes into deep detail about not only the hazards of combat but also the mental stress of it. These men went through continuous stress day in and day out for months on end before men started to lose touch with reality.

@catherinelw9365 Год назад

Leckie also wrote "Okinawa", and an interesting tidbit: Apparently Japanese parents were upset over the huge losses towards the end of the war, and some cut off their fingers and mailed them to the Emperor as a sign of protest along the traditional Yakuza form of punishment, which symbolized losing your finger meant you lost your ability to wield a sword.

The Japanese eventually deserted (largely anyway) the Banzai approach and slowly realized that digging in deep to try and offset the Marine firepower gave them a better chance. The war then entered a much more bloody, darker stage.

We’ll see, being constantly wet, can have that effect on some people, besides, sending him a little back. Dry and nicer, no day to day stress like he was experiencing, will mostly cure the issue he has.

The Japanese Banzai Charges took place after a night of drinking Saki. It was usually the last resort. The Japanese attacked with pointed spears if they had no other weapon. The goal was to kill ten Americans before you die. The biggest one was on Saipan, where I have been, with 4000 to 5000 Japanese taking part. These Banzai charges would result in allot of American casualties.

Gib who was locked in and told his story to Leckie was I'm pretty sure the same guy who choked to death the fallen wounded or dying Japanese soldier. Plus his actions of choking the presumably wounded or dying enemy not being the norm nor expected, of course. Wasn't like either were fighting each other to the death in hand or hand combat, kill or be killed. It was not befitting honorable conduct to say the least? So yeah, would be horrifying if audience was cool with it. Plus he wasn't encouraged to do so. Simply witnessing of horrors. Same with the racist unit leader yelling earlier in part 1 about the Japanese etc and then just folded under the bombardment.

“We all did shit like that” there is a brutal truth about that. Without taking away one bit what Basilone did at Guadalcanal the War Department at that time put a limit on the number of each of the top levels of citations could be awarded at each engagement. I’m not saying that he was given the MOH and didn’t deserve it , but there were likely several marines in that engagement that perform acts of valor worthy of the MOH and Basilone was selected to be the first among equals ….

@MichaelPower212 Год назад

The Japanese method of attack of charging, also known as banzai attacks, was successful in previous engagements against inferior forces such as the Chinese since 1937 in the second Sino-Japanese War. Thinking they were superior to the Americans, they continued on this course of action. This style had become ingrained in the mindset of the Japanese command. It proved to be a tactical failure because of the discipline, resources, and training of their new enemy. It was only later that the Japanese realized the futility of this type of aggression and resorted to laying back in a defensive posture, as you will see in later episodes. However, there were moments when the situation for them became so hopeless that some units, against policy, took it upon themselves to charge the enemy. Not so much in the hope of winning a victory but to end their torment and humiliation and hopefully kill a few Americans. Leckie and Sledge are both authors of books about their time in the Marines. Leckie's book is "A Helmet for my Pillow," and Sledge's is "With the Old Breed." Old Breed is a term for the 1st Marine Division. - Virginia Beach, Virginia

As much as i love all war movies, they all seem to lack the same critical element. Kids. Its always obviously adults. I would love(and hate) to see a war movie where the actors were all 17-26 years old, maybe an older guy peppered in every now and then. It would make the movie truly an anti war film.

I think Band of Brothers and The Pacific are good at showing how the public's perception of the military changed pre-9/11 vs 10 years of war. The Pacific focuses more on the ugliness and what it does to you. Not to say Band of Brothers painted a rosy picture, but there was a bit of romanticization that this series did away with.
