Gunny should have had a bigger part in the series.

Lesson learned from this: NEVER BE COMPLACENT OR OTHERS SUFFER

The NCOs that retired in the thirties came back to lead the new kids.

Friend of family was a Marine He baby sat us when I was 6 We watched Frankenstein on TV He had his shotgun just in case He fought on Tarawa Great guy rip Marine

I've watched at least twice What those Marines went through is... I can't even imagine God bless

My grandfather from the 7th marines fought in guam tinian and Saipan

One of the best web series Thousand times better than band of brothers

I love you god!

Woof.

when you leave the port-a-bunker in fortnite

Amazing actor He really brought out a lot to the show and made it very believable

it was Eugene Sledge's fault.

Sledge wrote about nearly blowing the head off of one of his buddies that had crept up at night looking for water. Sledge almost pulled the trigger on Snafu's .45 until he recognized the voice. The buddy was a veteran but didn't know the password and should have known better than to creep around at nighttime with the threat of Japanese infiltrators. Sledge related it just added another level to the outright insanity of combat, especially when he realized he almost killed a fellow Marine and friend to boot. (FYI passwords always contained an 'L' as Japanese had trouble pronouncing it.)

What was killing the Gunny was the fact that it was an unnecessary death. It was because of undisciplined mental lapses like this that got his his young men that he felt responsible for, killed. He felt that there was enough death to go around without having to help it by being stupid. He served in Nicaragua, which my Grandfather did also, so he's seen or knows about the horrible things the guerillas would do if you were not careful so the "old breed" had to be more disciplined because they had fought in the jungle and at night before against an enemy that followed no rules.

Random point about Gunny Haney: His service record shows he never fought in France or even left the United States during WW1, but in Sledge's book, he recalls a conversation where Haney was asked if what they went through on Peleliu as as bad as WW1 and he says yes (or something to that effect), like it was well known in his unit that this guy was supposed to be a WW1 vet and revered as being part of the Old Breed. Any explanation? It'd seem odd that such a senior and respected NCO would lie about something like that, especially given the fact he saw combat for real in WW2 anyway.

If I read Gunny's (wiki) bio correctly, after Peleliu he was done with front line combat. After all those decades of service, violence and death....who could blame him. RIP Gunny

How I wish I could be there to just hug Gunny Haney... He's like a father or grandfather I never had. He went through so much, no matter how cynical you are, you simply can't just be cynical to him.

When Gunny is breaking down, you know shit is bad, and you better listen.

Man, I’ve had my gunny yell at my buddies and I before. It’s not good, it’s like letting down your father. He’s not mad, he’s just very very disappointed. You never want to piss gunny off, he’s there to take care of you

Shut Up Sergeant

NCO's. The Backbone!

That is acting. A man on the edge. Superb

Not speech ... Break down

That actor deserves a raise.

Faqs i cried ... he was braking already

What happened here?

I prefer BOB over Pacific any day because too many good people are killed off in Pacific.

Bag him and tag him!

Hard lessons that have influenced Marine Corps training to this day.....when that a-hole DI is getting in your face and yelling at you, he is trying to save your life.

When one of the boys married a terrible woman, but now he is already getting the divorce

It think this scene is a depiction from the book the old breed with some added dialogue. Eugene sees a couple figures at night which happen to be two Japanese infiltrators trying to prove the defensive line. It’s dark so no one can Barely see. There also happened to be a marine who was out of his hole that ended up being wounded. He was mistaken for a Japanese soldier and was shot in the head by another marine. Sledge was question by the company commander on who did it because multiple guys knew there was no way you could crawl up close and shoot a guy in the head with a pistol as not identify them as friendly or enemy combatant. K company commander covered it up.

You can listen to your CO's but you learn from your Gunny.

You didn’t shave this morning?! You just killed your whole section!!”

COMPLACENCY

That hasn't just been said for the movie that has been said multiple times through your life you're quite frankly I don't understand

Heartbreaking because he is the hard ass Gunny, but he is hard assed to keep them alive, and it's an act to make them fear him, to train properly, and not want to get scolded by the mean assed Gunny, but watching young men die, especially young men you've trained kills part of your soul. We are watching part of Gunny die, and even while a part of his soul is dying, he is still trying to teach his boys, to keep them alive. That's the sad tragedy.

Soap opera for males. Just like Jake Paul fights.

Sgt. Herman J. Sasse, (my father), 1st Marine Division, hit the beach at Guadalcanal in June 1942. He fought through the entire Solomon Islands campaign. He made it home in one piece in late 1944. He died at the age of 97 in October 2019. His are shoes I still strive to fill to this day. RIP Dad.

I thank the Americans for liberating my country, the Philippines from the hands of the Imperial Japanese. I also that the Americans for letting me serve in their military. I also thank the Japanese for being friends with the Filipinos after the war. We are forever grateful to the Great Generation.

Always listen an NCO..in a job where the young dies.....

LoL and they dont know that uncle sam doesnt care about theyre destiny what count is the oil and freedom BS and they all can die :)))

Why was he staring at Sledge?

Tired and lazy, that's me. I never would've lasted in those ww2 jungles

Seen video about boulder dam an mount rush more good luck getting permits to do that today with all the regulations

A man's man.

This is what happens Larry!

My Grandfather was a China Marine. He got out in the early 30s. He wanted to get back into the Marines when WWII started, but they said he was too old (37). In a depressed voice, he told me: "I had to settle for the Army." However, as a bonus, he was in one of the first Army units in Guadalcanal. Didn't see any action until he got to Manila. Then he used to tell me about his drinking and whoring. He used to say "Now don't tell your Grandma this, but..."

Lest we forget

Where would Hollywood be these days without the Brits, the Aussies, the Kiwis and the Canadians.

Such a hero of the U S Marines and he is played by Gary Sweet, who is Aussie born and bred. In the film “ Lincoln”, about one of the great US Presidents Steven Spielberg cast an Irish actor Daniel Day Lewis in the role and in “The Aviator” the part of Katherine Hepburn, an American icon was played by Cate Blanchett, another Aussie.
