"We Look This Way For A Reason." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #movieinsight #ww2
The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

Lt. Col "Chesty" Puller gathers the other men around and brightens the mood by telling them that the Japanese newspapers are describing the Marines as "not ordinary troops but...a special force recruited from jails and insane asylums full of blood lust." The men laugh and cheer. Then Chesty gives them the good news: The Army has landed. He orders every man in his battalion to be shaved and realizes that they can't do much about their uniforms.
After they boys wash up they have their first encounter with the Army while walking on a narrow dirt road: a green truck rumbles up behind them and nearly runs them over, giving them no warning. Each side flips off the other and JP yells, "F****n' army. Just you f****n' wait." (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

When told the enemy had them surrounded, Chesty replied “good, they can’t get away this time”. A true Legend.
The Japanese were right this Marine is an ex jailbird former inmate of Shawshank!
When Chesty was shown a flamethrower for the first time, his first question was where do you put the bayonet

I love how the Marines took the Japanese insults as a compliment.
It wasn’t really directed at the Marines themselves though, more for the average Japanese soldier to hammer in that “never surrender” mindset
@Temp-hg3kq does that change the fact that they still took the comments as a compliment?
Same with the germans. "Devil dogs." Damn right. They show up for one reason and one reason only. To fuck your days up
Tradition since world war 1 the Germans also called them Teufelshunde (Devil Dogs)
It's not really meant as an insult, it's meant to dehumize your enemy. and to strike fear into their own people so that they can see no way out besides fighting to the death. This kinda propaganda is what drove mothers to leap from the rocks clutching their babies to their chest.

General Puller once accompanied the 1sr Mar Div on an extremely long Ruck march in freezing Korean weather. He started at the rear of the Division and put four Marines in side his heated Jeep to let them get warm for just a little while. When they got out he put four more in and so on and so on for the entire division while he walked the entire way without riding in the Jeep himself. That’s why his men would eat fire for him and ask for seconds. He loved his subordinate Marines down to the youngest private. This is one of hundreds of stories about Chesty that I found out about during my time I. The Corps. Chesty was a Marine’s Marine. Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are.
Sounds like an officer I would fight for.
@@mattrehu8154Oorah. My squad leader is like that
Well said.😢
Good night Chesty, we know where you are.
I’m told: To this day, Marines at Parris Island end their day by saying, “Good night Chesty Puller, wherever you are!”
Both MCRDs do it. Right after we say the rifleman’s creed.
I was at PI in '91. We said it.
Yep. That'll stop when the Corps stops and not a day before.
In MCRD San Diego as well
We said that in 1969. Semper Fi
So Chesty Puller and George Patton were cousins. Being in that family must've been stressful af
They were distant cousins so they might not have ever met
Wasn't stressful at all. Everyone knew what was going on, and what was expected. Oorah.
The Patton family IS MASSIVE. There's a history RUclipsr who's a Patton. And he's like 3rd cousin twice removed or some shit. Massive massive family.
Patton's family was wealthy, and extensive. The only drama I know about was Patton's aunt loved his dad, to the point she lived with them, low-key adopted baby Patton, obsessed over him and allegedly wailed "He should have been ours, he should have been ours!" When Patton's father passed away.
I doubt they played “touch” football like the Kennedy Family

Puller was a true leader. The very best. He had all the respect of his men. Not just because of his rank but because he earned it and stood right beside them in battle. That's how you lead men into battle
@ArminHamner thank you for your noncontribution to the conversation.
And by respecting the fact that they're dirty and beat up looking BECAUSE they're warriors. And that he's proud of them.
Absolutely!

Band of brothers gets all the attention, but the Pacific is an awesome series.
Band of Brothers was better written.
They each have their purpose
BoB was meant to show the incredibly strong brotherhoods formed in the worst of times
The Pacific was meant to show just how insane the horrors of war actually got fighting the Japanese
I'm not taking away how brutal the European theater was, but I'd rather land in Normandy than land on Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Tarawa, Saipan, etc... no thank you. One beach assault would be enough for me. Not 5 in a row non-stop. Fighting an enemy that doesn't surrender and charges at you by the hundreds to the death. Big nope from me!

You mean besides serve the nation in the USMC 🦅🌎⚓️🇺🇲
@@mattmarzula Not really. How about you?
My Okinawan grandmother used to reminisce about the absurd propaganda the Japanese would spread about Americans during WW2. They were told that due to their blue eyes, Americans were more goat than man and their eyes made them unable to see well in the dark. They were also led to believe that there was no such thing as an American woman, so you can imagine her and her family's surprise when they saw an American woman drive a truck through their village. In addition, many of her neighbors committed suicide by jumping off cliffs to avoid being captured by Americans, as they were brainwashed to believe that Americans would kill and r@p3 them. Luckily, her mother thought that committing suicide was stupid and her family took the risk of being captured by the American military. My grandmother said that the American GIs treated her family ASTRONOMICALLY better than Japanese soldiers, who were often racist to the Okinawan ethnicity and stole her village's food and crops.
After the war, she would remark on how dumb they were back then to believe such lies and how she was grateful that the US won the war instead of Japan.
Well there were 1000s of instances of Americans raping Japanese women , children and men. As well soldiers and marines stealing gold, silvers, jewels, swords, etc.
Lets not whitewash the history with your personal anecdote. Mass R words in Okinawa were happened and many women did the S words. In one case they R word the entire village worth of women for months.

Chesty Puller - The true American badass!!!
The actor portraying legendary Marine Chesty Puller is William Thomas Sadler. Chesty puller was a bona fide American hero. We have a quick glimpse of the actor playing John Basilone.
Thank you William Sadler for your portrayal of this Man who was a living American treasure.
What must have had been to serve under Colonel Puller.
And sadly, Basilone never made it out. A fierce and fleeting flame, I guess.
Another admirable leader is Coach Pop from the NBA, imo. He and Col. Puller share a lot of the same MOs.
don't forget he was the grim reaper in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

@@srcastic8764 The Pacific.
I love how they say the Marines have bloodlust when the Japanese philosophy during this time was literally going to war and dying in battle.
And committing every warcrime imaginable.
Also a little bit of cannibalism.
Yes while Marines were not the surrender type and would fight to the death, they would retreat and regroup unlike the Japanese who a lot of time would see a banzai attack or suicide as redemption for losing a battle. The war in the pacific would have been far more bloody if they Japanese had the same exact mindset as they had the skills and determination.
@@marine102192 The same exact mindset was enacted by the Japanese particularly on Iwo Jima.
Bushido is one heck of a drug
That punch to the chest said more than 1000 words
"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things"
My gramps was Navy at Pearl Harbor. He was cutting hulls open with a blow torch trying to get the men out before the ships sank.
A salute for your grandfather. Was he able to help many other sailors?
That was dismal, from what I heard in one documentary. They could hear the men calling. From beneath the water, inside the sunken vessels. Then less. Then none. Oh man that had to be a rough job on you, mentally.
"Good night, Chesty Puller. Wherever you are."
That is a Leader.
Shane is always twitching and I love it 😂 from walking dead to punisher to the pacific he’s always a little twitchy 😂
"Chesty Puller is the most decorated marine in the American history". And many more legends were made out of Ww2, that period time is indeed the greatest generation in the human history even forever after.
Ha. Only because the Marines hated Smedley Butlers Politics. How many Medal of honors does Chesty have? Not 2.
Can't have the kids look up to a socialist. They'll realize they're fucking grunts sent to die to make rich people richer and they might fight for themselves for once.
Can’t really speak for future generations though.
Nah, Gen Z and their 72 genders are really going to surprise you.
Their kids, the boomers are completely horrible people.
These days men just want to be women... Disgraceful...
“We look this way for a reason” I feel like that sums up being a marine in the battlefield in general
Chesty... what a man. Isn't he the same hoss who said "We're surrounded on all sides! They can't get away from us now!"
Or something to that affect? So many amazing stories from the Corps.
Yep, that was from Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War.
@kalashnikovdevil Woah really!? My grandfather was a Marine in Chosin! That's so awesome! Thank you for telling me that!
I don't know, but I was Gator Navy for four and a half years. The Marines we transported considered being outnumbered to just mean they were in a target rich environment. Great bunch of guys.

Semper Fi
Notice that Puller's aide is in a clean uniform. That's a great touch.
My grandfather was a Marine in WWII. He worked at New Caledonia and he did see some action, sort of, flashes of light from over the horizon in the Battle of Guadalcanal.
Still, there is a great deal for me to be proud of.
It's funny, statistically speaking the vast majority of veterans were support troops. Only a small fraction of them ever saw any combat. Yet it seems every veteran who comes back saw combat.
I'm not saying any of these people are lying. I don't know enough to make such a judgment. But one thing I do know, I have another relative, one of my dad's uncles. He flew a B-17 over Germany, he survived 25 missions, some were extremely hairy.
There was something about him that was different. I've seen the same thing in every other veterans I know who actually saw combat. He never enjoyed talking about the war. And while he was a high functioning alcoholic, he spent the rest of is life after the war drunk.
Taking human lives, whether you drop bombs from 30000 feet, or you stick a knife into the enemy so his blood flows over your hand, it does something to you, no matter how justified or necessary taking that life is, it damages your soul and you are never the same again.
This is why I say, in war there is no winner. There is only the side that last, and the side that lost more.
People like Putin never pay the price personally, but these are not good men. These are the leaders who force others into this high priced endeavor.
You may gain things from war, but what you gain is never more than what was lost.
We owe those who have paid this price a great deal. And I can not express the shame I feel that the term "Homeless Vet" exists in a country with a 100% volunteer military.
That dirty junky sitting on the sidewalk volunteered to damage himself for you. How dare you walk passed pretending you did not see him! How can you support someone who thinks he is a loser? How can you fail to provide the help that man needs. Do you not understand what he has sacrificed for you?
I can't do what he did because my leg was cut off when I was 3 years old. But I will do what I can to help those who sacrificed for me. You should be ashamed if you have not done the same.

@erictaylor5462, my father and both of my uncles were in WWII in three separate theatres of the war. All three were alcoholics to their dying day, two of them extremely high-functioning. You are right. War robbed me of part of my Dad as well as my Uncles. We should be very ashamed that we don't support those who faced death for us and came back damaged from it! Only the average person suffers from war. Those that instigate it merely win or lose.
@chrisvibz4753 if you could live a month of his life, in all honesty, and after the month was over, do you really think you would say or think that , then ??? If you have a conscience, I'm betting not..so in short, ur earlier comment was uncalled for..
For every life they took, they lost a part of their soul...
@@erictaylor5462 I wish I could like this 1000 times, your eloquence nailed the whole situation!
I really wish they would’ve just focused on one or two guys’ stories in this series. Lecky, Basilone, and Sledge all had compelling stories but jumping from unit to unit made it more difficult to feel like you were getting to know the guys as opposed to Band of Brothers
The reason they were looking this way is because they just finished opening up a can of whoop ass
I can never remember this guy's name. But he's an amazing supporting actor. Every movie I've seen him in I've always loved his acting.
William Sadler is such a great actor
lemme tell ya summing Chesty
Chesty Puller. A special force of his own.
I bet hearing that shit would be one hell of a morale boost for a bunch of combat marines.
Something similar happened with my unit in Afghanistan. On one day about halfway through the deployment, our Brigade Commander showed up at the fob I was on. He gave us all a motivational talk and went on to tell us what SIGINT picked up on enemy comms. What they heard one of the Taliban leaders say over the radio to other fighters was "If you see a square patch with lines on it on a group of soldiers, do not try to fight them. You will not be able to kill them and they will kill too many of our people."
I was with 3d ID and I tell you we had some damn warriors. Hearing those words being spoke was one of the most badass feelings I've ever felt.
One of the greatest war series ever.Who cried..
William Sadler is an amazing actor.
Soldiers and Marines talk shit on one another, but as a Soldier, I have the utmost respect for them, and especially their Officers. After all, it was a Marine who was the first American to orbit the Earth

How in the Hell did Mr Puller never get the Medal of Honor is beyond belief
He had 5 Navy Crosses and 1 Army Distinguished Service Cross. Both awards are the 2nd highest award in Departments of Navy and Army respectively. This achievement itself is a record. Just goes to show what an outstanding leader he was in leading his men.
Didn't need it. Nowhere to put a bayonet on it.
@@user-pj3ch8ou2halot of those high level medals are almost interchangeable with what the men did to achieve them. Which one you were awarded had alot of politics behind it since what it took was vague between each one.
@@user-pj3ch8ou2h Minor correct. The Navy Cross and the Distinguished Service Cross are the highest award in the Department of the Navy and the Army. The Medal of Honor is not service specific.
@@Michael-dy2lbI agree with your comment, but did you know? Each service has their own specific design touches on the MOH they award, The Army and Airforce have their own, and the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard are awarded the Navy design. Pretty neat details.
I love The Pacific more than Band of Brothers because of one guy. John Basilone
Jon Bernthal should have been cast as Manila John Basilone.
The scene at night when runs into the jungle and saves those guys is nuts.
Every town in the US should have at least one street named in honor of John Basilone.

And the main thing Respect
@@mikemitchell8329 that's the one I was looking for lol, thanks
Imagine if chesty puller ran for president
If you know anything about the US Marines youll know that the first batches of marines were recruited from Tunn Tavern. They were typically recruited for being violent criminals or fellas looking for a fight and free liquor. Sometimes they were Shanghai'd after drinking too much and passing out. Naturally when they woke up on the ship they weren't too happy but after they had been offered free booze and a paycheck and were told they were allowed to kill any enemies they came across they were pretty much always in agreement. After all that was a pretty sweet deal. A paycheck, booze AND tou can kill people? What else could a fella want?
I would like to thank all military personnel, for your sacrifices to keep us safe!
I'd feel pretty good if i had The Punisher on my team lol
This is your best review, it clearly resonated with you and it shows. God bless.

Fought in Europe , Pacific in a zombie apocalypse and he was the Punisher as well how much can this man do ?

When the "Army landed", they landed here in Luzon, fighting the Japanese in The Philippine's. Ultimately helping the Marines in liberating the country.
That is factual. But in this scene they had landed on this particular island, Guadalcanal.
U.S Army 187th Rakkasans was the only unit to parachute onto Japanese soil.
Yeah and Marines supported the Army on D-Day and the Navy supported both in both theaters... what's your point?
He was the definition of commanding respect and leading by example. Fought hard along side his men and carried himself with humilty
Serious grit and stern professionalism.
That is one aspect of the Corps who are Marines.
Semper Fidelis
If I remember it was the 24th Army Infantry that reinforced them. The Army troops in their foxholes were issued a Marine to help them keep their sh*t together as they had zero experience. The Marines borrowed their Garand rifles...
Lol
5 Navy Crosses for LGen. Puller.
I served in the U.S. Coast Guard way before my time, during the battle of Guadalcanal the Coast Guard saved chesty, he then personally nominated a young 1st class signalman named Douglas Monroe for the Medal of Honor, to this day we have one Medal of Honor recipient and that is because of Chesty, and the corps got to keep one legend of a marine because of the Coast Guard.
Bill Sadler is such an underrated actor. Perfect for the part of Chesty Puller.
Now, Marines are the best but I dare say that the Guys in the Army who assaulted Normandy that were Army troops deserve as much respect as the Marines in the Pacific. Not to mention Anzio and the Market Garden invasions.
No, not really they're NOT "the best."
Please STFU. They're very good but not better than the Army.

I love in Gloucester Va about 10 miles from where Mr Puller grew up. I went into the Marine Corps right out of High School
From someone who appreciates the freedoms we enjoy in America, THANK YOU. My father was USMC under Chesty in Korea. He ran away from school, lied about his age and was in the Corps at 16. He taught me to love America, love the Corps, and honor the name of Chesty Puller.

There were a lot of badass Army units in the Pacific Theater honestly. A lot more than what most Americans normally give the Army credit for anyways.
That video was awesome. I was 82nd airborne. I’m grateful to the 11th for saving the airborne.
158th Infantry "Bushmasters" as well from the AZ National Guard🤙
The majority of the Pacific Theater's island campaigns, particularly the successful ones were conducted by the Army. If you're fighting the bloodiest battles, that means you're losing.
Please name an unsuccessful one.
Iwo Jima can definitely be defined as one of the “bloodiest battles” of the pacific and we definitely weren’t losing…. The Marines won that one. I don’t think anyone sees your point. Marines carried the Pacific. Amphibious by nature
The Army was used when there was enough to land to maneuver on and enough enemy to make it worthwhile. All the island campaigns were successful, but in terms of casualties per day, the invasion itself was almost always the costliest part of the campaign. And in the Pacific, that was the Marines.
@@itsnotthatbad2282 Iwo Jima was a strategic dead end that was not worth the permanent loss of 6,000 Marines and 800 Sailors. Granted, that was the Navy's decision.
In terms of strategically useful islands like Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa, the Army was there and did indeed carry a huge portion of the fighting. They just didn't get the same press for it.
@@Michael-dy2lb Getting tired of this myth honestly. A cursory glance at Pacific Theater operations will show you that the Army conducted far more amphibious invasions than the Marines. Which stands to reason considering the Army deployed about 3X as many troops. Army leadership (in the Pacific) just focused on minimizing losses, so they have no bloody battles to sensationalize like the Marines do.
This man is a leader that comes along once a century.
You forget how many great actors were in Pacific.
I’m almost 73 now. Never served. Turned down in ‘68. 4F, hepatitis as a kid, never gained back that weight or strength.
Parents were small dairy owners. No extra money, just more work.
But, I had 4 half brothers, all much older than me.
Oldest 2 were Navy, middle guy was Army, youngest guy was a Marine.
Which one was the fighter?
You know.
the punisher served in the pacific before becoming the awesome vigilante he is, respects
Finally a role where William Sadler was not type-cast as a run of the mill bad guy. Such an under rated actor.
They may have all died, but none of them were in vain. They all made the ultimate sacrifice and it made a difference.
Berenthal character gives expression “I will march through Hell with this man”
I think one of the many things that many people miss about serving is the ability to be treated like an adult at work. However you have to earn it first.
"a special force recruited from jails and insane asylums for bloodlust" got me dying 🤣🤣🤣
I'm in the army but I could feel the camaraderie. That must be a good battalion Commander he has the love of the troops
William Sadler played that part so damn well. The Pacific wasn't received as well as Band Of Brothers, I think because the Pacific Campaign wasn't as glamorous or 'romantic' as the Western European campaign. But the show still did the same amazing job as Band Of Brothers at building a connection between audience and real life characters. You felt it when 'Ack Ack' was killed, when Snafu left Sledge sleeping on the train, when Sledge met Sid in theatre and later gave him the Marine pin. Same again in Masters Of The Air, they do justice to great men and women of that war.
