The same blanket that Captain Haldane said his father made back at home was the same type of blanket that covered his dead body when it was brought down.
Gunny said that he had enough combat after Peleliu, that it was just too much for him. That man fought in world war 1, he was the old breed. Thats why others were so shocked to see him break.
Actually, Gunny in reality served during WWI but wasn't in combat.
7:01 as bad as flamethrowers are, they were one of the most important weapons used in the Pacific theater. Peleliu was a special kind of hell, it was really the first time the Japanese went to building networks of tunnels and caves into the mountains. The complexity of some of these bunkers and the thickness of the walls made it so that grenades and other explosives would have limited effectiveness inside.
This led to the Marines using more and more flamethrowers and flamethrower-based vehicles and to the eventual method known as “blowtorch and corkscrew.” Marines would use B.A.R. light machine guns to suppress the target. They then throw grenades inside. Burn it out using the flamethrower. And then setting off a satchel charge to blow the entrance of the bunker up.
WOW, Bliss I think you are the only person reacting to this episode that realized Sledge was about to lose all his humanity by taking gold teeth and Snafu stopped him. Way to go.
"Capt. Andy Haldane wasn’t an idol. He was human. But he commanded our individual destinies under the most trying conditions with the utmost compassion. We knew he could never be replaced. He was the finest Marine officer I ever knew. The loss of many close friends grieved me deeply on Peleliu and Okinawa. But to all of us the loss of our company commander at Peleliu was like losing a parent we depended upon for security - not our physical security, because we knew that was a commodity beyond our reach in combat, but our mental security…. So ended the outstanding combat career of a fine officer who had distinguished himself at Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, and Peleliu. We had lost our leader and our friend. Our lives would never be the same. But we turned back to the ugly business at hand."
-Eugene B. Sledge
With the old breed on Pelelui and Okinawa
The pain on Bergie's face when he has to announce to the men Captain Haldane is dead is absolutely palpable. It's the look you have when you have to tell someone something you don't want to believe. This entire series was masterfully acted.
The Pacific series was based largely on two books by Robert Leckie, "Helmet for My Pillow", and "With the Old Breed", by Eugene Sledge. Their books did not focus on character development and back-stories so neither does the series.
The book is more brutal. The guy that was talking a shit and almost killed was changed from the book. In the book the American sees a BAR gunner at the top of the hill and ran towards him. However the gunner didn’t shoot until he was right on top of them. He then let out a burst going from left to right at hip level and cut the Japanese in half. The guy who had his pants down and half scared to death yelled at the gunner, "why the hell did you wait so long to shoot him?" The gunner replied, "I wanted to see if I could cut a man in half."
that made me real sad.
The flame thrower was the safest and fastest way to clear a bunker or cave of Japanese soldiers that refused to surrender. The flame didn't even have touch the enemy to kill them. Shooting a flame across the mouth of a cave or bunker opening sucked the oxygen out suffocating the enemy.
It did not "suck" the oxygen out of the cave, or bunker but replaced it with Carbon monoxide and other gases where is heavier than Oxygen. But the results are the same, they suffocates
Sledge's unit fought for months on Pavuvu. Taking the airfield on the volcanic plain on the south of the island was the easy part. The hard part was working their way up the mountain in the middle of the north of the island, which the Japanese has turned into a fortress with concentric rings of defensive lines going up the mountain, and loads of cover to fire down on the Americans from in the form of the natural ridges and caves. Being a mountain and caves, bombs dropped from US airplanes and artillery were almost useless. Mortars, like Sledge's team, did much more of the work, because they could aim very accurately with precise information about where the Japanese were from the other Marines in their unit, and drop mortar shells over the top of the next ridge up where Japanese would be waiting for them who were prtcted from bullets by the ridge. So Sledge as part of a two man mortar crew, ended up killing a very large number of people, probably hundreds, which weighed on Sledge.
Also on Pavuvu the Japanese used a night time terror tactic of wearing plimsoles or sandals instead of their boots, and going out one or two men alone, and sneaking among the sleeping Americans with only swords and knives to kill quietly. That way they not only neutralised the American advantage in firepower, but they deprived the Americans of sleep, because once this started happening, the Americans were too terrified to sleep at night.
5:58 What the marines are doing is not necessarily wasting ammo. It's called Suppressing Fire which is when they pin the enemy down in place while allowing their fellow troops to either flank or call in support.
Shooting does not always mean shooting to kill enemies, but giving your comrades an advantage in the field.
Got it, thanks for watching ❤️
You noticed Sledge's transition from a normal human being to a soldier molded by combat.
You have very good insight into human nature, and what the trauma of war can do to a man. BTW, I do believe red is your color, very nice.
8:47 You are absolutely correct. I watched Band of Brothers 7-8 times through out the years. I only watched this series once.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of The Pacific!!!!😊😊😊😊
You are awesome Biss, thank you ❤🤙
For context, this is happening at about the same time as Easy Co. is in Holland in BoB.
September 15th 1944 so it started 2 days before market garden
@@kevinotoole2285 Hence the word ‘about’.
@@alanholck7995 I’m not correcting adding context
7:32
As mentioned before, the Marines mindset was completely different and sometimes went to extremes where they didn’t care about the other persons life. Mental health wasn’t something that was looked into fully back then.
8:46
You’re not wrong when it comes to thinking that way. This series does show a brutal part of the war that many don’t want to understand or can’t.
9:52
Even the toughest men in the world can still break down, just as Gunny did.
11:28
Even in the most difficult moments, that little humor can go a long way. This is what I meant before when it comes to many military personnel that they at time enjoy dark humor because it’s just funny to us when it isn’t to others.
12:34
When your men are so tired and weak, that if they see someone getting carried away that they liked or respected, they all will stand up to show the upmost respect for someone.
13:38
I’m not sure if it was fully involved (someone could correct me), but because of the Geneva Convention, you must use certain rounds or weapons when at war with each other under the same agreement and can’t not use other types.
It’s heavy on the action because of how the war in the pacific was much worse than the war in Europe.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Sledge's memoir, With The Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa, is one if the best ear memoirs I've ever read, you should definitely check it out if you have the chance.
Heavy on the soul, what an accurate description.
😊😊Thank you Biss.
This episode was brutal I remember watching it for the first time thinking to myself how bad it really must have been for those men
BISS, you can find quite a bit of information about Sergeant John Basilone on RUclips!! Even to THIS Day he's a very well-known name amongst the Marines!!! They actually DOWNPLAYED what he DID to earn his Medal of Honor!!! He was an amazing soldier and an amazing human!!!❤❤❤
But don’t do it yet!!! There will be more about Basilone in this series
@@mikeb4595 I would be willing to bet the farm that your point is moot because she's probably already seen the episode you're worried about on Patreon!!😮😮
I think I'm one of the good ones that try not to spoil anything for the reactors!!😎
a flame thrower is more efficient to clear out bunkers and tunnels, than sending soldiers down to their potential death
Bliss, you are right about Gunny. I don't know his exact past but if he joined the Marines as a young man, he probably participated in the worst battle the Americans participated in during WW1, the Battle of Belleau Wood. It was during this battle that the Germans called the Marines Devil Dogs. That battle resulted in 9500+ casualties of which 1850+ were KIA. After WW1 the Marines were sent to various Central American and Caribbean countries to put down rebellions and protect American interest. These were known as "The Banana Wars." Gunny wasn't old he just broke down after a lifetime of war. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.
If I could pick any reactor or youtuber to watch a war movie with or a war show like this I would pick you Biss cause your so awesome when you do these reactions to war movies and yes there hard to watch but you do a good job I've been reacting to you for along time now and I'm always happy you make my days happy so thank you for what you do I approach your hard work.
Not sure if you know, Eugene (sledgehammer) the actor is the same person who played the KID in Jurassic park.
I've watched this series twice, and Haldane's death messed me up each time.
Sometimes the Japanese and even the Germans would booby trap weapons or other items and leave them in the open hoping a careless Marine or soldier would pick it up and trip the trap then boom!
This series always makes me more emotional than BoB. Seeing Sledge go through the progress of war is heartbreaking.
That color looks great on you. I watch everything you put out since you started out these channels. You are such a sweet person Little Miss Biss. Keep up the great work
Biss the soldiers anger is understandable because let’s not forget who started this fight
Bravo.
Oversized sweater… cute Miss Biss😋🕊️
Snafu is my favorite character
You should watch Pearl Harbor and Windtalkers they’re both good shows.
Sledge dedicated his book to Haldane.
Oh? thanks for watching ❤️
It is a magnificent series Miss Bisscute and a great reaction💓💓💓 thanks for this one. to complete your experience and knowledge of the Second World War in the Pacific, I suggest you react to the films directed by Clint Eastwood: Flags of our Fathers (2006) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), this one will show you the Japanese point of view of the war. You should also try the film starring Nicholas Cage Windtalkers (2002).
Biss, bring tissue for the rest of the series ….. just in case.
Probably the most brutal episode.
Indeed ❤️
So does your top take AA or AAA batteries?
I recommend you watch "The Thin Red Line" ..... : )
GENERATION KILL next.
I don't know why I find these stories so interesting when I know I'd be the type to break down screaming on the first day.. but listening to the actual guy's autobiography. the surprising thing is the reality was really so much worse than in the show. one thing the movie can't quite show is the smell and lack of good sanitation. bodies and feces everywhere. flies everywhere. sores all over their bodies. it's absolutely insane what they had to go through.
It was often said, "The Russians fight for their Motherland, the British fight for their king, and Americans fight for souvenirs."😊
Want to go visit there Biss? Peleliu?
The estimate of casualites if the allies had to invade the mainland of Japan was 1,000,000... not even counting further Japanese civilians. --- So the bombs?--- Bad thing for sure--- but the lesser or greater evil? Hard to say. The Band of Brothers company would have been there after all they'd been through and the war would have run into 46, 47 if they'd had to invade the mainland.
Thanks! great review. but bad news at least one maybe two more military series hbo made first one is generation kill about following a marine unit in 2003 invasion of iraq excellent acting never got the hype or praise it deserved and second is hbo series Rome while it follows historical figures main stars are two common roman soldiers great acting great premise
The majority of the Japanese military was in favor of continuing the war even after the atomic bombs. It was the decision of the emperor to surrender that forced the military to comply. The military had wanted to fight on to insure the survival of the imperial institution, despite the Allied demand for unconditional surrender, but when the emperor himself decided, the majority obeyed. Even then, a faction of the military tried to start a coup to kill the civilian and military officials that supported the emperor's position as well as to seize the imperial palace and the emperor to force the continuation of the war. These mutineers were suppressed and the troops confined to barracks. Air commanders were forced to remove the propellors from planes in order to prevent their own pilots from carrying out their own kamikaze missions even after the emperor's surrender broadcast was made. Surrender after the atomic bombs was not an easy or peaceful process.
LOOKING HOT IN RED
If you're worried about ur sweater, take it off. 😁
For me BoB was a better series but they did an excellent job with this series technically, more of a documentary feel to it. It was like a whole different war compared to the European theater.
He said they threw him off with handing out lemonade after what they just went through.
