    I was born in 1967, so I grew up around a lot of vets and also that whole generation. I cannot imagine what that time must have been like - whether you were fighting, or at home - the uncertainty, the deprivations, the loss, the fear. I don't know whether any generation can be accurately called "The Greatest Generation", but there certainly was greatness in them.

      I'm 10 years your senior, so I fully understand. Growing up when every adult I knew, from my dad to the local cop all had wartime experience, I grew up knowing all about the War. Their life experiences also included getting by and surviving the Great Depression, followed by the World War, so they had a lot. We don't know, because few of us have been similarly challenged, but I honestly believe that any generation thrust into that much fire would rise to the occasion.

But, welcome Home. When Desert storm started. We had no clue what would happen, how long we would be gone. We had a Vietnam Vet on my ship. At night in his rack, he would have flash backs. We started talking, hoping we weren't treated the same way when we got home when ever that would be. You should have seen his face. When we pulled in Pier side back in San Diego. At the welcome we got. I think that was the first time I saw him smile, really smile.

      Adding to that, Eugene Sledge wrote a book called “With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa”. He wrote it decades after the war by reviewing all of the notes he took during the war (depicted in the series) and his memory, as it started to fade.
      Robert Lecke wrote multiple books as he would go on to be a writer and an author, but specifically “Helmet for my Pillow”.
      These two books, plus just stories known about the Pacific were actually the basis for this series. I own both and am currently reading Sledges now. It adds so much to this series and watching to see the actual story told by these brave Marines. To understand in more depth what they actually felt when seeing these scenes.
      This series always had such a great meaning for me. I served in the Marine Corps from 2009 to 2013 and come from a line of soldiers, sailors, and Marines. My great uncle, Lt General Keller E Rockey, served as a Captain (USMC) during World War I and fought at Belleau Wood. He would become the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps by WWII, but would step aside to lead the 5th Marine Division (under General Holland Smith 5th Amphibious Corps) at Iwo Jima; which John Basilone was assigned when he was killed in action. The 5th also placed the flag at Mt. Suribachi.
      A few years ago, we went to the National Museum of the Marine Corps near Quantico, VA (and Washington DC). Part of the World War II exhibit is one of the two flags that flew on Suribachi, along to a section to memorialize Eugene Sledge. It’s free to visit and definitely worth seeing.

    Sledge, Leckie, and Burgy’s books are all phenomenal reads.
    Sledge’s book China Marine: An Infantryman's Life after World War II digs into the fact that elements of the 1st Marine Division spent the better part of 2 years in Northern China after the war. The initial goal was to prevent the Japanese Army from surrendering to the Communists and to protect US Assets sent to China as a part of SACO.

    The Pacific and European theaters were entirely different in a lot of ways. I grew up hearing stories about my family, one served in the US 28th division and fought in Paris, the Hurtgen Forest and at the bulge. I had another family member who was in the 390th bombardment group of the US army Air Force as a B-17F tail gunner and was KIA over the channel on the way back from a raid.
    I only got into the Pacific due to this series and considering the naval aspect of it all it really got me into naval history which is a huge passion of mine. You can prefer whatever show you want but this show personally hits a bit harder for me because of the emotional side of warfare it portrays so well. This series will always be in my top five for favorite shows of all time.

    Eugene Sledge's book "The Old Breed" is phenomenal. This series great and incredibly dark. However, the real story is even darker, they left a lot out that was too gruesome even for this show to be included.
    The parts where Sledge's hatred for the Japanese is shown is because of a particular incident where he encountered three wounded marines who were left behind during a retreat after a small battle went poorly for the Marines on Okinawa. Unable to be evacuated with the rest of their company, the Japanese got to them and severely tortured and brutalized them. Eugene and his squad came upon the aftermath of this chilling scene. The marines were sat up, decapitated, their manhood cut from their bodies and placed in the mouths of their severed heads which were put in their hands in their laps. Eugene said that one of the marines bodies looked like it had been run over by farm equipment, almost unrecognizable.
    There wasn't any evidence that the marines were alive when they were tortured but also it would not be surprising if they were.

    Last year I came home to North America from Ukraine after just a few months over there. I feel like a part of me did not survive what I saw as a combat medic. I struggled to fit into the civilian world when I left the Army in 2009, it is a much more profound division now. The war in Ukraine is not North America’s war, it’s not felt here; the isolation this causes is quite profound. If combat does not claim your life, it will claim a part of you, often the human part: the part the enables inter-human connection… thankfully my dog still loves me, despite not recognizing me when I got home.

    No, the Mom doesn't mean harm, she is just trying to help him get on his feet again, but she doesn't understand the trauma he endured, unlike his father who completely understood. Great reaction, so glad you finished this series, although I know it's a heart breaker. For a movie suggestion that's out of left field, I recommend the 1946 classic, "The Best Years of Our Lives", which was directed by WWII veteran William Wyler. It's a study of three US servicemen returning from the war, and what they had to go through to settle into civilian life. Wyler wanted the American public to understand the issues facing veterans: PTSD, disability, unemployment, alcoholism, marital troubles... he portrays it all sensitively and not without some humor. It won Best Picture and I think you would love it for its humanity and hopeful ending.

    The first scene with Leckie and the other wounded in the hospital always reminds me of a cartoon that Bill Mauldin (cartoonist for the military newspaper Stars & Stripes) did just after the war: it had a wounded soldier in a hosptial bed asking "So, am I still a 'war hero' or a 'burden on the taxpayer'?" The average soldier loved Mauldin, but a lot of higher ups - including Patton - really hated him, because he told it the way the infantry saw it.

They suffered unbelievable casualties and many were POW's in German camps but im so glad their story will be told next in this saga!

    I enjoyed your reactions to both 'Band of Brothers' and 'The Pacific'. I've recommended it to several others who have reacted to 'The Pacific' but because of your passion and emotion I would say that you absolutely have to read Sledges book 'With The Old Breed'. It is considered to be the best first hand account of what it's like to be an infantryman in combat ever written. It is outstanding and about a thousand times better than this series. It puts right inside Sledges head and gives you an understanding of what he experienced in a way that the miniseries never could. And if you don't feel like reading, the audiobook is free on RUclips.
    If you want to read some fantastic books that are first hand accounts of combat as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division during WW2 then I highly recommend reading Don Burgett's books 'Currahee' 'Road To Arnhem' 'Seven Roads to Hell' and 'Beyond The Rhine'. Burgett served in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne, the same regiment as the Band of Brothers but he was in Able Company instead of Easy Company. His books are just about as good as Sledges book. Anyway I really enjoyed watching your reactions.

    I was curious about that comment you made about Americans returning to Australia to be with their Australian girlfriends and i found out something interesting. The Australian government loosened immigration laws for Americans so they could do just that and quite a few of them did return to Australia. Also there was around 15000 Australian women that moved to the United States so that they could be with their American boyfriends and husbands.

All of these service men coming home, young, prime marriage age, having families of 4 to 6 kids. More kids were born during this period than the entire previous history of the US up to that date.

    Off topic kinda, but I feel we could've done the Pacific theatre a lot better. I understand that the farther south you went in the Pacific from Japan the less experienced the soldiers stationed there were, so we could gain experience fighting the Japanese working our way north. But if we sailed directly west from Hawaii, we could've cut there army in two. Blockade the southern half of the Pacific, so the Japanese can't send troops and supplies. Either then start working our way south to north, dealing with only half the army with no hope for aid, or we start immediately working our way north, disregarding the stranded southern army. Granted, we wouldn't have the experience we could've had, but it would decrease casualties, both military and civilian, by at least a 1/3. Rough estimate on my horrible math.

    Sledge and his unit did not go home for another year, they were sent to China. The mission to disarm the Japanese in China and they also secured Peking from being taken by the Chinese Communists. Sledge wrote a book about it called "China Marine". Cho En Lai, Mao senior diplomat warned the Marines not to enter the city. I think it was Chesty Puller who replied I am paraphrasing here, "You just try to stop us". That is why the came home in 1946.

    You should definitely watch The Best Years of Our Lives, 1946 about 3 servicemen returning home from WW II. It gives the best description of what we now call PTSD and spoiler, has a happy ending. I also recommend Timeline. 2003 which is a Sci-Fi drama about archeologists who time-travel back to the 100 years war between France and England.
