Guys, the vet intros were cut from digital releases. Need to watch them on youtube
I hope they see this!
I'm checking some of them out! What a shame they cut this stuff from the streaming episodes!
@popculturallychallenged It's a real shame. I don't know who's decision it was but it was a mistake. This video has all of them. 9:42 is up to the end of episode 4, where you guys were

Gibson talking to Leckie in the isolation room is the most gut wrenching thing in this show. To envy someone as they die when I first watched this show I couldn’t process it.
He envied his faith that God would save him, not because they are dying.
Enuresis: involuntary urination. Episode 4 presents ways in which the Marines were reacting to extreme stress. Battle fatigue or combat exhaustion was the term in use in WW2.
My gramps barely started talking about his time in combat and he said the first time he took artillery rounds close to him that he pissed himself without him knowing it lol. Him & his buddy laughed their asses off about it because he didn’t think he did till he saw the piss stains in his pants lol.
Great review Toni and David!! The Pacific will seem a bit darker or shows more of the Marines suffering from combat fatigue or even PTSD. One reason for this was Band of Brothers, Easy Company, their length of combat was about 11 months. By this time in the war for the First Marine division they had been battling off and on from 1942 to 1943. Of course, this is not demeaning the guys of Easy Company, but battle fatigue was very different based on the theater of combat. Some of the accounts from the campaigns in Italy are very different from those from D-Day to VE Day. Then add in that Japanese soldiers rarely surrendered. This, Pacific will seem darker or more sullen than Band of Brothers. I've seen a number of people bring this up in previous reviews and have criticized Pacific for this. But this was how it was, unfortunately. Just imagine the Battle of the bulge lasting 5 months, that was how Guadalcanal was. So just wanted to make you aware that it seems darker, but that is because of the reality of it. Looking forward to seeing more!!! Love the channel.
It's also more grim and gritty because of the perspectives. While most of BoB came from Winters perspective, the sources here were from the perspectives of a Sergeant and 2 Privates. The officers perspective, while very much a front line officer, provide a broader view and a slight distancing than the grunts. Combine that the above points and it's a much more claustrophobic and horrific story.
At conclusion of the final episode, they will show the real men with the actors and tell what happened to them after the war.
I couldn't do war. I would end up in one of those hospitals. That damn jungle with the constant rain, heat, humidity, bugs would drive me insane alone, not even factoring in the war itself. My grandfather was in World War 2. He never saw action, he was stationed on a RAF base in England. He had the glorious job of cleaning up the bomber when they returned back from missions. And in cleaning, I don't just mean the bits and pieces of the plane that got shot up, but what was left of people. Large caliber bullets and anti-aircraft rounds can do some wicked things to the human body. These could have been friends and colleagues that my grandfather talked to before they took off on their mission. Hours later he's wiping off whats left of them. I can understand why he drank himself to death.
God bless your grandfather. He certainly saw action. In its own way, transporting our KIAs barely wrapped in their ponchos to the Registry and the subsequent cleanup of my Huey was worse than the CA (Combat Assault) missions. War sucks.
You are somewhere unbearably hot
It rains, constantly. Now by rains, I mean an absolute load, it pours down constantly. The rain is also warm.
Your only shelter is a relatively thin tent which isn't very good at protecting from the constant, constant wet everywhere
Your drier clothes are still sodden through
The noise of the rain makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible to sleep
You have been in combat recently, or are in an area where the enemy is expected to have retreated from - but cannot be certain, because they're crafty guerilla fighters
Your own officer(s) took something from you which was a legitimate (?) combat souvenir (the trunk, the pistol more importantly as an officer's sidearm is a prize)
No wonder Leckie was absolutely done - but I think seeing the other guys in the hospital put his own problems in context, maybe helped him square himself away (at the time)
We should all look at these movies as a way to bring history to life. It is also a reminder that we owe a debt to all those that have given us (the Western world) the freedoms we take for granted.
Bamboo shoots were allegedly used to torture tied pows. It grows fast and can easily impale a human body.
Nightmare starts from episode 5, good luck Toni 😘
PS: Masters of the Air after this please.
YAY!
Yeah. This series gets worse and worse. Even the coming home episode at the end has some emotionally powerful scenes.
The WWII vets are virtually gone. The Vietnam vets are disappearing rapidly. We are left to learn the lessons of war from the veterans of the desert.
New Guinea was a bad place ;-(
Nooo I missed it
😢
Hey are you guys going to do the Indiana jones movies
I have a recommendation for ya... If you like the original Matrix and the first John wick... Try out Monkey Man by Dev Patel. It starts out shaky for a reason. The second half really turns it up. And the end is phenomenal. If you want, check out the trailer first if you haven't seen it. But I recommend going in blind. If anyone else here has seen it, please chime in.
Please watch Bahubali 1 & 2 you definitely love it ❤
