Eugene Sledge | With The Old Breed

[@masstrapper7645]

These brave men, these hero’s, fought and gave their lives to rid the world of tyranny. I feel it’s our duty never to forget. They have my unwavering respect and gratitude. 👍👍

Thank you and all your fellow Marines for you unmatched courage and sacrifice. RIP sir. To you and all those that never came home.

The Pacific was so much different than Band of Brothers... The European theater was hell, but it seems the men fighting in the Pacific theater were reduced to sub human... The filth, death, destruction, no quarters type of fighting is unimaginable to a person like me. My uncle was with MacArthur's Army during the battles to retake the islands, and my mom told me he came home, and drank himself to death, at the age of 47... He never recovered.

Both shows are different in many in many ways mainly the most notable being the theatre of war, but mainly because band of brothers doesn’t focus on the individual but it focuses on the unit. The pacific mainly focuses on three people and their personal struggles through the war. Robert Leckie fighting with his mind, John Basilone not feeling like he belongs in American and feels like he should be out on the front line again fighting for what he believed in instead of selling warbonds and Eugene Sledge being the victim of fantasy of war and having too also fight with his mental health and the lost of human life.

Yep, as they said in "The Pacific", the downside of fighting there during WW2 and surviving was you had to live with it for the rest of your life.

All my uncles and father experienced this. I lost an Uncle with the USMC in the Marshall Islands. The loss effects families for generations.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
