There were many heroes at Guadalcanal. U.S. Coastguardsman Douglas Munro was in charge of a number of small boats tasked with evacuating by sea a Marine contingent that was in danger of being overrun. While heading back out from shore one of the larger craft ran aground. While the other boats helped get the grounded craft off, Munro maneuvered his boat in position to shield them from enemy fire and then manned a machine gun to supply suppressing fire. Munro was eventually hit by Japanese fire but not before the grounded craft was freed and the Marines successfully evacuated. Munro's dying words were, "Did they get off." Munro was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor (recommended by Col. Puller), the only Coastguardsman to ever receive the MOH. He was 22 years old.
Semper Paratus.
There's something about the pride of being a marine. My nephew is a retired marine, but never call him a retired marine. Once a marine, always a marine! He still runs the U.S. flag and the Marine Corp flag up the flag pole in front of his house, every morning. He's been out for over 10 years. Great reaction, young lady.
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
“I love this leader.”
There is a reason that every USMC installation has a road or building named after Puller.
Good night Chesty
Semper fi
Glad your watching this with the historical context. Thanks
Thank you to all of the US Marines that kept my country safe in the Pacific so my family could in enjoy a good life.
I don't know if you will see this comment but I feel like I must tell this man's story. I'm talking about Jacob Vouza, a native of Guadacanal. He volunteered to scout for the Marines who gave him a small American flag. He carried it with him wherever he went. On one of his scouting trips he was captured by a Japanese patrol. They found the flag and tortured him to get information about the Marines. At one point they tied him to a tree and used him for bayonet practice. Still refused to give them any information. They left him tied to the tree thinking he would bleed out. But Vouza was tough and he knew the Japanese were planning an attack. Using his teeth he managed to get loose and walked 3 miles to the Marine base. He was taken to the hospital tent where he refused anesthesia for surgery until he could talk to an officer. He gave the Marines the necessary information so they could prepare for the coming attack. The attack came within the hour and Marines were ready for it thanks to Jacob's information. Two weeks after his surgery he was back scouting for the Marines. He was awarded the Silver Star plus medals from the British. In 1968 he was flown to the US by the Marines he had worked for. He was always proud of the US and his Marines. He died in 1980 but his memory lives on. There is a monument to his name in the Solomon Islands.
I wish the series had included something about Jacob Vouza. A real hero.
That’s so interesting! Yeah that would of been good if they included more stories like this one, maybe made it a slightly longer series so that more stories could be told! Thank you for this 😊
For context, The same Japanese soldiers that were on Guadalcanal were the same soldiers that were cutting heads off of Children in China, and the ones who massacred Guam. In Japan, it became a tradition to publicize “beheading contests” in their newspapers of islands/countries they captured. Every soldier faught to the death against the Americans. It was a much different Japan then what we know or understand today. Unfortunately though, in their schools they do not teach about Japanese war crimes, and pose the Americans as the villains of that war.
Wow! I never ever heard that before! Thank you for watching!
@marleysmovies To get an accurate idea of the collective Japanese mentality, at that time, you need to read about 'The Bataan Death March', early 1942.
That describes how the Japanese treated US and all other Prisoners of War (including your compatriots, who deeply hated the Japanese)
EVERYONE really Hated the Japanese, regardless of nationality.
And the Japanese Hated everyone else, looking down at everyone, as 'inferior beings'
To learn about how the Japanese treated civilians, in places that they occupied, you really need to read about 'The Rape of Nanjing'. (Wikipedia, etc)
Very important information.
A 'warning' ⚠️ regarding many of the photos, taken as 'trophies' by the Japanese, themselves, display an Inhumane, almost Unfathomable Cruelty!
Especially against women and little babies.
The photos of all this, are indelible in one's mind, so a severe warning ⚠️ if you are very sensitive.
(I am not trying to promote hatred towards Japanese, but it is important to know how they were, during WWII)

14:36 my gramps was in Korea in the Marines. He said the Chinese would run at them just like the Japanese would, and they would just shoot them till they stopped coming. He had a Browning automatic Rifle (BAR) during his time in Korea and said that it would “cut down a human with ease”. He described it as “pure madness” what the Chinese would do.
21:12 Eugene is the same kid who plays in the Jurassic park movie from the 90’s lol.
Marines are the ones you send in to kill things, That’s what they’re good at. If Marines aren’t fighting, they’re fucking, and if they’re not fucking or fighting they’re drinking. There’s a reason why saint Peter only allows them to guard the gates of heaven.
If you get the chance look up “terminal lance” and his comic about it lol. It’s basically a Marine asking the Saint why they’re not allowed in heaven and the saint replies “I’ve seen the things you marines did on earth.” lol.
The actor playing Eugene also played John Deacon in the film Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@Macilmoyle Otoh, there's another old joke with a similar subject :
A soldier, a sailor, and an airman are in heaven, and they get in an argument over which service is best. St. Peter comes over and asks :"What's the trouble ?" They explain, and he says :"We'll just ask God, he knows everything". So he writes the question on a scroll and holds it up, and a dove flies over and plucks it from his hand. A few minutes later the dove returns and drops the scroll in St. Peter's hand, and he unrolls it and reads aloud :
"Dear sirs,
All US military services are equally good.
Signed : GOD.... USMC retired
Eugene’s father, Dr Sledge gives the theme for this series. It wasn’t just the physical injuries but those done to the soul that destroyed these men. They will be ordered into hell over and over again. Some will lose their souls. War is hell.
Makes perfect sense. Good luck with your masters.
Thank you 😊
So glad you're doin this series.
My Dad was a Sergeant in a mortar platoon in the Pacific Theater of WW ll
He didn't want to talk about it. I can understand why he didn't.
❤
Yeah I can understand why too!!! 😔 Thanks for watching with me!!
@@marleysmovies ❤️
...I forgot to say he was in the U.S. Army
The comment you made about it being a small island made me chuckle. Compared to some of the islands that the marines would later fight on, Guadalcanal was positively huge. If you think the aftermath's of the battles are overdone in goriness, the truth is, they are underdone. If you Google pictures of the aftermaths of the fighting at the Tenaru River (Sp) but that is how it is located on Google, or Edson's Ridge, if gives a good idea of just how savage the fighting was. This was before the Japanese realized how lethal the American firepower was and began to modify their tactics away from the wasteful Banzai Charges they used on Guadalcanal.
I believe that the first interviewee is Sid.
It's called island hopping.
You talk about them going somewhere, and doing step by step. That was the Pacific theatre. General MacArthur had a plan called "Island Hopping" to get from place to place, using the last island taken to be a logistical hub or port or airport to continue providing things like air cover, or refueling stations, etc for the campaign. Chesty Puller is a man among men within the Corps, and is beloved by us all.
I was in the Marine Corps in the '80s so this series feels more personal than Band of Brothers. I'm glad you're enjoying it and getting lots of historical knowledge of the Pacific campaign. I'll be watching along with you.
Yes I’m really enjoying it so far, thank you ☺️
Brace yourself. It gets much worse starting with episode 5 on.
Indeed
The Japanese were not adept at combining various military branches in attacks. They were better at preparing defenses. I have been in a cave on Saipan where there were tracks to move artillery. Admiral Nimitz and General MacArthur disagreed on strategy and MacArthur won meaning they would go towards the Philippines. This series is based on war memoirs of people you are seeing. Pay attention to Sledge, Leckie and Basilone. I don't want to tell you more before you see it.
Will you be continuing to react to this series? Do you have any schedule that you will be adhering to? (Once a week, etc) Obviously, life will dictate, mostly just curious if you are going to continue reviewing it? I have been enjoying thus far.
Yes I have episode 3 coming today. Always check my community tab, I very often post there to inform viewers of what is going on.
As I am a full time mum and a full time student doing my masters I unfortunately cannot give specific days of when I will post videos as I do all my editing myself and although I have certain days I work on my videos, things happening in my life means that I have to work around that.
I’m glad you have been enjoying it 😊
Great review Marley!! I believe others have told you that The Pacific is more brutal than Band of Brothers. As a historian I enjoy watching learn more about history from the movies or shows, so good job. Yes, there is a big difference between marines and soldiers, but now that you have learned that, you are doing exactly why these are such good shows.
Might I suggest that when you finish the series you might want to watch two films about the Pacific theater. The first is either of the movies called Midway. The first was in the 1970s and it was really good if maybe a bit too dramatic with too many personal issues. But the story is solid. The other Midway movie was from 2019 and it was very good on the history. The only concern is the movie might not be as clear on the torpedo squadrons and their contribution to the overall battle. Don't want to give away too much though.
The other movie is Emperor, very interesting show on the investigation into Emperor Hirohito involvement in the start and ending of the war.
Keep up the learning and reviews they are great!
Thank you for the suggestions il add them to the list! Thanks for watching with me ☺️
When I was about 12 worked in donut shop after school, county Board of Health inspector was Marine vet from Okinawa, 30yrs after war still hated Japanese
Yeah, I know what that's like, maybe one day I'll tell you about the highway of death of Kuwait City? Probably not, enough said.
I would love to hear it if you like 👍🏻✨
@marleysmovies I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you, but it is my crux to bear.
This was tough! there are many great characters to meet still but maybe my favorite is "Snafu". I can't wait to get your take on him. He's played with dark humor by Rami Malek who was Freddy Mercury in the "Queen" movie.
Ooh I had no idea he was in this show! I haven’t seen the Queen movie but I know who he is, thanks! ☺️
@@marleysmovies You're welcome!🙏
@@marleysmovies I mentioned it in another comment, but the actor playing Eugene (Joseph Mazzello) was also in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody as John Deacon, the bassist for Queen.
@@Macilmoyle il have to watch that movie !! A lot of these actors went on to work on some great things it seems! ☺️
While the shownmakes it out the marines were alone not really the case during the day the cactus air force (an air squadron made up or marine, army , and navy pilots) harassed and sunk numbers of Japanese ships all while navy PT boats patrolled the water but at night ? The Japanese controlled the waters this leading to the bloody six months for both navies leading to the surrounding sea to be renamed “iron bottom sound” due to the amount ships being sunk
