Marines are land forces that work closely with the Navy (in theory), and know a lot about getting across water (hence their name). They have a tougher reputation than the other branches, and are usually under-supplied. The Navy fights on the ocean in boats, subs, and carrier-launched aircraft. The Army is the main land force, and focuses on things like tanks and supplies, and gets more equipment and technology to fight than the Marines, which according to Marines means the Army is softer and spoiled. Air Force does planes from land bases.
The Marines are PART of the Navy. Maybe, the best part. That's why they don't have "medics". They have Navy "Corpsmen" in the place of medics.
@@tduffy5 At the very top, but are otherwise separate. But answering to the Department of the Navy is part of why they get under-supplied compared to the Army. Cultural miscommunication, priority differences, being treated like a redheaded stepchild by the aristocratic Navy command, etc.
The theme for TP can be found in Dr Sledge’s words to Eugene. The battle is very much about men going over and over to hell and trying, fighting, to keep their souls.
Marines are an amphibious, smaller shock force meant mainly for invasions. Because we have the worst budget we get all the hand me down equipment, but we make anything and everything work no matter what. Improvise, adapt and overcome. Semper Fi.
04:22 I'll try to make a thumbnail of this, as a former Marine, but the US Marine Corps was formed to defend US Navy ships before America was formed, back in 1775. After WWI, at the Battle of Belleau Wood, the Corps developed a reputation as fierce warriors. This continued into WWII, from these actions in the Pacific you are seeing depicted.
Marines are not "soldiers," they are Marines. Air, Land and Sea. Long considered a generally elite "first to fight" fighting force since those days. This is not me knocking the Army or any other branch of the military. They all have their elite units, Rangers, Airborne, Green Beret, Delta Force, AFSPECWAR, etc. and some of them are amazing (SEAL). They all have our respect. But I do believe the Marine Corps is unique in that it tries to instill those elite values into every single Marine, straight out of Boot Camp. Plus we've had our extra-elite units, too. Recon/Commandos. The other ones can be very specialized toward certain tasks, which I've witnessed on multiple occasions. All very good at what they're set out to do.
Point is, probably best to not refer to Marines as "soldiers" even if they're in a soldierly role, and you should be ok, unless you wanna keep hearing about it. :)
Semper fi
And you can get a lecture from Leckie about it!
Sleep deprivation was a major cause of psychological problems. You need to get adequate sleep to function correctly. So the enemy will purposefully try to deny you sleep, attacking at night, shooting flare to make you think they might attack, using the navy to bombard you. Leckie will explain about this.
The name of the operation in Guadalcanal was Operation Watchtower. The Marines called it Operation Shoestring. The rice the Marines were eating was actually captured from the Japanese engineers who were building the air field that was the main goal of the fighting.
The planners in Washington DC decided on a strategy of Germany first. This was the correct decision but…
6 months basic training. Tis attack let 100+ Japanese thru, took till morning to find and terminate them. They were rotated out because of battle fatigue. The total battle was 6 months long.
Dess, you talk as much or as little as you want. This is YOUR reaction. You do it your way. 👍
🙏🏾❤️
Marines are soldiers of the sea, and are under funded compared to the other branches they tend especially back then to have older outdated equipment and less than the army. At Guadalcanal they were abandoned for 5 weeks after the navy lost a sea battle
They sleep whenever they can...but mostly they sleep at night, and take shifts on watch or guard duty.
It is hard to explain, but the Marines were an all volunteer force at the start of the war, while no other service was...so they were seen as more elite than other units early in the war. Their training was a bit longer, and they had more training in amphibious operations... going ashore on small islands was their specialty. They were managed in an odd way from the other services, and while there was an Army Department and a Navy Department, there was no "Marine Department"...the Marines came under the management of the Navy Department. As you can guess, that meant that the Marines did not always have the highest priority for the latest equipment, and for pretty much their entire history the Marines of many generations have been taught to "make do" with the gear that they have, and not worry about what fancy stuff the other services had. In WW2, there was the Army, the Navy, and the Coast Guard...you know about the Marines and the Air Force was still part of the Army...no Space Force, obviously. The US Army also did a lot of fighting in the Pacific, and also did island assaults, but most of the amphibious operations were conducted by the Marines...I believe, somebody will correct me if I am wrong.
One big thing that I have heard many many many Marines say...is that they are not "soldiers" that is the Army...they are always called Marines...pretty much. They have other nicknames you can call them, but then it gets a bit complicated, and not all non-Marines are allowed to use some of the nicknames directly to the face of an actual Marine.✌
Personally, after reading the comments before watching, I cant wait to hear you talk alot about watching this ❤😁
🙏🏾❤️
11:25 he wasnt moving the japanese bodies for ammo or supplies, he moved the bodies because they were stacked so high, the japanese soldiers would be able to use the dead bodies as sand bags - a fortified position - the marines would have had a harder time defending
Historically the Marines were the land forces of the Navy, and were funded through the Navy budget... but Navy ships and weapons are very expensive, so the Marines budget was shaved down and they had to make do with less, in the early part of ww2 they were still fighting with ww1 equipment while the Army, which had its own budget were fighting with more modern equipment. (this is shown primarily with the machine guns, the large heavy water cooled barrels that the Marines used in contrast with the lighter air cooled weapons used in Band of Brothers, and the rifles, the Marines were still using bolt action Springfields, while the army was using the new semi automatic M1 Garand)
Talk or not, I love seeing how attentive you are to what's going on.
BTW, when John ran out and started shoving bodies around, he was clearing the field of fire for the machine gunners so the Japanese couldn't take cover behind that pile of bodies that was so close to them.
🙏🏾❤️
Ok, so in the 1940's there were four US military services; the Army, the Navy, the Marines and the Coast Guard. The Army's primary role was land combat - and at the time that included the air war above land. The Navy was responsible for combat and logistics across the oceans, as well as naval air combat. The Marine's role was similar to the Army, except they specialized in operating from the sea, which made them ideal for the war in the Pacific. The US Coast Guard augmented the Navy in WWII, escorting naval transports and driving the landing craft the Marines used in landing operations.
In the 21st century, the major differences are the Army no longer has responsibility for air combat - the Army Air Corps became the Air Force - though the Army does have air assets. The Coast Guard is not under the Department of Defense like the other active military services, but are part of the Department of Homeland Security - and their peacetime operations are more extensive, including aids to navigation, search and rescue, and law enforcement. The newest service, the Space Force, was split from the Air Force and is responsible for near-orbit warfare, including satellites and ballistic missile tracking, as well as cyberwarfare.
Dog. Native people lived on Guadalcanal. The dog likely came from a village and found the Marines much more affectionate than the natives.
"A comfortable Marine is not angry enough to kill" or something like that is the saying 😅
Goodnight Chesty.
1:53 i'm here to watch you watch and listen to what you have to say.
I never understand people that complain about how much a reactor talks... are they here to rewatch the movie or are they here for your reaction and commentary to the movie? i've seen the movie, i haven't seen your _reaction_ to the movie. it's your reaction, you do it your way. i'm here for Dess. 👍🏼
No, the reason why people complain about reactors talking too much is because they talk while the film is going and end up missing a lot and don't understand what's going on. That said, I don't think she talks too much at all.
Silas, below, is correct about equiptment. The Marines were sent to Guadalcanal with WWI rifles, the 1903 Springfield bolt action rifle. The Army came with the brand new M1 Garand self-loading 8 shot rifle, the finest in any army of WWII. The Springfield was a fine rifle, for it's day, 1903, but much slower to fire since you had to run the bolt through it's action to load each cartrige from it's magazine.
Sleep WAS a problem, more so in the Pacifc Theater, because of the enemy. Germans tended to sleep at night. A main part of the Japanese Army, and Navy, tactics was night fighting, in the offensive. They were very good at it. But, of course, sleeping isn't too exciting for films.

The commenters should stage a science experiment.
@@michaelstach5744 Help yourself.
You can't please everyone. Just always remember to leave them wanting more. #Jahbless
EDIT: Marines search and destroy. Army sweeps and holds whilst building infostructures along with maintaining the line.
Just an fyi as u watch the rest of series if nobody mentioned so far how the Japanese fight. They basically believed their emperor was god and in Japanese culture it’s very honorable to give ur life for the emperor hence why they charge in with no regard for their own life as they literally want to die or kill u no in between.
