That scene with Sid and Eugene’s parents it’s done so well with how the mother believes what he’s saying but Sidney and Eugene’s dad both look at each other knowing he was lying through his teeth
Yeah it was done really well, so subtle!
Leckie and Runner seeing each other again kills me every single time. Both friends who had been through the worst humans can offer together, probably thinking the other is dead now. And finally just getting to go home. Just an awesome, human moment.
Leckie sitting there, all messed up from the concussion of the blast that threw him into the tree, poking at the peaches on his tray, probably hurting more for his buddy who he left behind, who called him Peaches… and then he just appears! Destroys me. Every time.
A few things for this episode. One thing thats not really depicted in the show was that the entire island was volcanic rock and coral. This meant the bodies couldn’t be buried so they baked out in the 115 degree heat for weeks. The decomposing bodies became like landmarks for the marines. Flies swarmed in the millions and a stench hung over the whole island.
To sort of reiterate the point of the men in the opening Leckie says in his account that he didn’t have a single sip of water or a bite of food the entire time he was on the island.
The man having the nightmares is unfortunately a true story. They tried sticking him with several sticks of morphine. When that didn’t work several men tried holding him down and choking him out but he fought all of them off. The shovel became a last resort and was never meant to kill him only knock him out. but they either hit him too hard or in just the right spot, killing him. It obviously extremely affected those involved. There was so much shame and trauma for what happened exactly who was killed and who dealt the killing blow was never revealed by the men. The last man who could’ve known passed in 2020 so it’s a secret those men carried with them to their graves.
The bunkers and destroyed Japanese tanks seen in the assault at the beginning of the episode were left pretty much where they were destroyed so they can still be visited on the island even all these years later.
Wow that’s just so awful about the bodies! That must be so incredible but also very upsetting to come across those tanks and that entire area. Thank you for watching with me!
Thanks for the info. Appreciated.
Im from Peleliu and that building they took is still there.
This next one is no picnic either. It wraps up Peleliu. It gets even darker. Incredible series on men at war.
If you remember back to Band of Brothers episode 1, you can now see why Sobel had the company complete a 15 mile march without drinking from their canteens. In the field there is no guarantee that potable water will be readily available, thus the men needed to be trained to operate without it.
Wounds to the mouth, throat, or chest can cause one to spit up blood. Movies that show soldiers with stomach wounds spitting up blood are just being overly dramatic. In SAVING PRIVATE RYAN you see the medic get hit in the liver spitting up blood before he dies. It couldn't happen. Lekie had a chest wound so his spitting up blood was totally within reason.
Love your brave and emotional reactions, see you next video.
Leckie's injury was a blast concussion, which occurs when the victim is in close proximity to an explosion. The shock waves caused by the explosion can cause serious, at times fatal, internal injuries, in addition to the wounds caused by shrapnel. Such an injury increases the chances the victim will experience PTSD. Leckie has seen his last battle. He's off to a hospital.
Thirst can be a great motivator, you would be surprised with your capable of whenever you are so thirsty, you would literally give your right arm for one sip of potable water. I have a pretty good idea what this feels like having served in the first Gulf War of 1991. I turned 21 under fire, I do not think anyone can top my 21st birthday story ever. Essayons, Sappers lead the way!
Sometimes, it comes down to the choice of one man versus many men, that is, the brutality of being in charge, hard decisions and having to learn to live with them. 😢
I honor your service and thank God for men and women like you that are willing to put your lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe and free.
There is a documentary called Peleliu 1944: Horror in the Pacific. After you finish this series, you might consider watching that but finish this first because we see most, if not all, the veterans who gave interviews in that documentary, in The Pacific. You can find that documentary about Peleliu right here on You Tube.
Thank you I will definitely watch it!
@@marleysmovies I hope you do. It’s just under an hour in length.
Consider this episode….preparatory.
I was in 3/5 and K 3/5 is still called sledgehammer in honor of sledgehammer they carry sledgehammers 🤘
The Marines and Army guys fight in the pacific was just a different type of hell. Islands that are tiny, and unforgiving. They men fighting in Europe at least had the chance to go to the UK or even France for some leave like Dick Winters had in band of brothers in the crossroads episodes. Even to this day certain battle sites in the pacific aren’t as visited as compared to western front battlefields.
To be honest the hatred between the Japanese and Americans had to each other compared to the Germans was immense.
Do a quick online search for Tom Lea paintings. He was an American painter who painted what he had seen on Peleliu. Be warned some of his paintings are nightmare inducing.
Marley, your reactions keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work😊. In this episode you see another battlefield war crime by the Japanese. It was against the rules of war to poison water, food, or any other substance that could be accessed by non-combatants.
The first attempts at reducing the suffering during wars was in 1863. This led to a series of rules regarding conduct during wars between nations. The Geneva Convention of 1899 was signed by many nations attempting to reduce civilian deaths and reduce the suffering of soldiers on the battlefield. In 1907 at the Hague rules were added. After WW1 poison gas was added to the list of banned weapons like exploding bullets. The use of poison gas was the only rule the Japanese adhered to during WW2. Failure to abide by the rules of war signed by the civilized world is one reason why the war in the Pacific was so much more brutal than the war in Western Europe.
There were no non-combatants on the island as all civilians had already been evacuated to Palau, so at least in the case of Peleliu this was not a breach of the rules of war.
@@liamboyd9682Yes it was. There were non-combatants on Pelelieu, they were called corpsmen. Besides at some point civilians would return. The Conventions were very clear in banning poisons. The Japanese did not care about the lives of others. Humanity was not on their list of priorities.
@@mikealvarez2322 I assume you say the same of the Americans as well right? Wanton and indiscriminate targeting of civilians is also a breach of the law of war, and the US intentionally targeted civilians with the intent of killing as many as possible
@@mikealvarez2322 Also, the convention specifically points out civilians and not non-combatants, so that’s a big Womp Womp on the Corpsman aspect
@@liamboyd9682Are you talking about bombing cities? Got news for you, that phenomenon didn't become popular until WW2. Prior to WW2 such as WW1 the mass bombing of cities was restricted by technology. It was just like banning poison gas; they didn't ban it prior to WW1 because the technology did exist until 1916.
To see what Peleliu looked like to a man who was there, Google Tom Lea's Peleliu paintings. Fair warning: it's some truly haunting imagery.
Oh just wait...it gets more intense than this episode.
