Unfortunately Sidney Philips passed away in 2015, as did Chuck Tatum in 2014, and "R.V." Burgin in 2019 (all long after the show was released in 2010). But they got to live really long beautiful lives and it was amazing they could be interviewed for the show, and (presumably) got to see the show and meet the actors who portrayed them. This is (in my view) the best historical mini-series ever produced. It's absolute perfection.
Philips, Tatum, and Burgin were all present at the premiere of The Pacific where they were given a standing ovation. And yes they met the actors that played them.
@@unwokearmy6757 amazing. I'm glad they got to experience that. They absolutely deserved every bit of recognition for their heroism and on the behalf of all those who'd already passed away or sacrificed their lives during the war.
You have to remember that the father's of these men fought WW1. Their fathers understood the trauma they went through.
This is a great point, makes complete sense now the way Eugene's father was towards him
@LiivReacts also remember Eugene's father was a doctor and treated those veterans remember what he said to Eugene when he signed up
@@jameswg13 and WWI was when the concept of PTSD, then-called "Shell-shocked" became a thing as many vets who had seen the horrors of trench warfare came back into society
Sledge actually finished his service in China after the war ended, leaving for home as the Communists were starting to gain the upper hand against the Nationalist forces. He covered that phase of his service in his second book, China Marine. Both books are definitely worth the read, as is Leckie’s.
One of the things I never hear talked about, when you get out of the Marines part of your PTSD is that you realize you are all alone. You spend years surrounded by brothers that will die for you and you for them and all of a sudden you are alone. It took me almost 10 years to sit in a restaurant and not sit in the corner, so I didn't have to watch my back. I didn't do anything even close to WWII combat those guys had to feel that hard. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
even still thank you for your service im so sorry you had to go through that hope you’re doing better now
Semper fi
I always sit in a corner in a restaurant and I’m not a Marine. I want to see who walks in.
Liv, thank you very much for allowing us to experience your journey with you with this series and Band of Brothers. Both are hallmarks in cinema for all the reasons you cited. All involved in the creation and production of both series did the boys/girls who served justice. And you, Liv, carried on the tradition with your insights, emotions, and vulnerabilities. Keep the memory alive for generations to come, everyone. I can suggest Generation War as well.
The Marines of K35 Were sent to China as an occupational force Sledge also wrote China Marine that details this in his perspective with his memoirs as well
Great reaction! The mental struggles these marines had to live with after such a horrifying experience is unimaginable.
Note that the cab driver who drove Leckie home and refused payment said that he jumped into Normandy which means he was a paratrooper, most likely with either the 86th or 101st Airborne. Just a small tie-in to Band of Brothers.
Robert Leckie ended up writing many History books about 20th century conflicts. After watching this series I realized one of my favorite books to check out from the local library as a kid, detailing the weapons and equipment carried by soldiers in the pacific, was written by him.
I think some people miss the reason why SNAFU leaves Eugene without saying goodbye. Think about the countless nights of minimal sleep and how hard it is to sleep without the fear of a Japanese soldier jumping into your foxhole and skewing you. Perhaps, knowing how it is in combat, SNAFU didn’t want to disturb Eugene’s sleep. I think that shows a lot about Snafu and it didn’t have to be said. That’s my two cents.
I could be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that Eugene's dad worked in a field hospital during WW1. That was the reason he was kinder and more understanding than most people are. Which is exactly what those people need. After doing so many horrible things to people and one cannot receive compassion or kindness from society. It can break one's soul. I know first hand.
What an amazing series this was. i enjoyed it very much and all your reaction videos. Although my heart broke when i saw you in tears. GGs for this fantastic series Liv. Approved and so proud of you
Eugene was completely and utttetly traumatized by the war it made it very difficult for him in later life
I really felt and saw the change in Eugene throughout these episodes, was very sad to watch and see. the scene where he broken down was heart-breaking
@@liivreacts you should listen to his 30 minute speech on RUclips “the old breed and the cost of war”
I’m glad ppl have the ability to show what they think, an feel about these historic series they’ve made, an reminder that freedom is not free 😢an we shouldn’t take it for granted.
You need to watch the extras, which has in depth interviews with the Marines who were still alive, and with their families along with the families of the Marines who were no longer with us when they made the series.
When my dad came back from the service he gave away all his guns and wouldn't wear khaki for 50 years. In high school in the mid 1970's almost all the teachers we had over 50 served in combat and none would talk about it. Almost all were in the pacific. The high school I went to in New Orleans was Brother Martin, a Catholic school with the largest NJROTC program in the country. Three US Navy Commanders all were pilots and three Master and Chef Petty Officers in the pacific. None of them ever talked about it. It's not that weren't proud of what they did, it's that they knew no one could relate to what they experienced. There was always somebody in the class trying to prod them into talking about it. The most one teacher i had for civics and US history that had been in New Guinea said it was a living hell of jungle rot and fungus and that you never experienced pain like having your ear drum scraped for fungus.
Great job reacting to this series. If you really want to gain a deep understanding of the experience of combat in the Pacific that the miniseries never could then I highly recommend reading Sledges book 'With The Old Breed'. It is said to be the best first hand account of the experiences of an infantry man in combat ever written. It puts you right inside Eugene Sledges head from boot camp all the way to the end of the war and is even more emotional than the show. If you don't have time to read it the audio book is on youtube for free.
There is a historical RUclips show about the Peleliu Battle with the REAL Eugene Sledge talking about it with some of the others in the Show
As a young person, and maybe with a new piqued sense of history and what it took to shape our world (for good and bad), I hope this series might spur you to read several good books on the Medal of Honor recipients. Just read of few of the citations...
I almost got to meet Gene Sledge. In 1995 I was stationed on Okinawa, and he was part of a group coming to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2. Unfortunately, the USAF decided I needed to be in Korea for 6 weeks, so I missed him. C'est la vie.
The series is based off of Sledge’s and Leckie’s combat memoirs. Both can actually be listened on audio here on RUclips, but also Audiobook has them. Highly recommend With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa, Sledge’s account. It’s widely regarded as the best memoir of combat ever written. Leckie’s is also amazing, Helmet For My Pillow. John Basilone is a Marine legend and we had to learn about him in boot camp. So much about him in Marine Corps history. Semper Fi. Great reaction!
Liv love your reactions to Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Two movies you should watch are All Quiet On the Western Front 1930 and Paths of Glory 1957 I think you would enjoy them.
In the book when Eugene Sledge went hunting with his dad he didn't just have a PTSD moment out of nowhere he actually shot a bird and when he went to it it was dying suffering and then Eugene Sledge broke down and from there on he would preserve life, teach it, and love to the very end. It sad I think the only moment his kids experience Eugene Sledge PTSD triggered was when his son jumped out of a cabinet with a toy machine gun and he slammed his son against the wall he calmed really quick

I grew up about 15 minutes from where Chuck Tatum lived but sadly I didn't have the honor of meeting him
Just wanted to point out that the soldier that was going to take Vera out on a date was played by Garrus Vakarian’s voice actor.
I'm still mad that Leckie didn't go back to Australia.
Such a good show. I think I need to watch it again.
Eugene didn't want to wear his uniform ever again for the same reason most people wouldn't keep love letters from an ex they loved who broke their heart. Bad memories.
Someone else already mentioned this, but it really needs to be said twice: you should definitely check out Generation Kill, another HBO war miniseries, but this one is about the 2003 invasion of Iraq. From what I’ve heard, it’s the most honest depiction of men at war. It kind of ruins war movies for you because it makes them seem sappy, melodramatic and mawkish by comparison.
Now that you’re finished with the pacific maybe you could consider watching hbo’s last war series generation kill. I feel like it’s highly under rated and covers a modern war in Iraq
Semper Fi.
Have you considered reacting to Chernobyl?
If you liked this you should watch Generation War. It’s a German show on the perspective of two German brothers during ww2.
Not surprised at all that SNAFU simply walked off the train and blended right into mediocrity. Some people simply disappear from the scene without saying goodbye. Just the way they are built.
From what I heard the train scene never happened in real life. This is a liberty taken by the writers. From what I read on the internet SNAFU earned enough points to go home in July 1945. I know from reading Burgin’s book that he earned enough points to go home in August 1945 and didn’t go on the plus 6 months to China with Sledge. The train scene is basically how the writers thought it would end if all 3 left together. Since SNAFU didn’t talk to his fellow Marines for over 35 years I think they got it right.
Well done, Liiv. Now, back to Europe. Watch "Fury" with Brad Pitt.
Why never again? When you have reoccurring nightmares about launching a mortar that gutted an old woman who you held in your arms so she didn't die alone, you have the right to completely walk away from the experience.
Damn you really skip the best parts and left the boring ones 😂
Eugene tries to go hunting with his father like he used to. But he can't and has an emotional breakdown. He falls to the ground crying and his father tries to comfort him. Meanwhile, Liv watches it all unfold with a giant smile on her face. Grrr. At that point, I had to stop watching.
Do you not see the tears rolling down my face? That scene was the most heart-breaking of the entire episode. Any hint of a smile was from seeing Eugene's dad comfort him as he clearly understood the mental trauma his son was dealing with.
Huh??? She was crying!
