Rami as Snafu

My fav clips of Snafu in The Pacific. All videos are not belong to me. Sorry, I'm just a fan who want to share.

[@larryshelton2904]

SNAFU Merriell Shelton was my Father, Norwood Shelton's youngest brother. They were very close. Rami captured his character brilliantly. I knew him well and loved him very much. He married had 2 sons, and owned a heat and air conditioning contracting business in St Franssville Louisiana, about 20 miles from Baton Rouge. After Sledge wrote his book that much of this information came from for the series Merriell heard about the book and contacted Sledge. They had a reunion in which Merriell's wife Gladys, a sweet lady indeed was amazed at their stories. All that she knew was that he was in the war. He never spoke of it. He did suffer from PTSD but he lived a full life and was a happy man. Sledge was a poll Bearer at Merriell's funeral in 1993.

[@marcostisanifrancadanese3076]

@@Mr1987Joe I think they said it was their uncle , Their fathers younger brother! But I agree I'd also enjoy reading that

[@freddfish]

A funny character, for the most part....but poignant in his own way. In the final scene when the train reached New Orleans, Sledge was asleep, and Snafu didn't want to wake him just to say goodbye. He just looked at him for a moment, down at a guy who had been his trusted friend and loyal comrade through all the fights they had been in.....and then stepped off the train at the station, where no one was waiting for him. In just a few seconds, you come to realize just how lonely he was, and how little he had of family and friends outside of the Marines he had fought with. Of course, all this is implied, rather than stated...but it made for one of the more touching moments in the series. A great role, played by a damn good actor.

[@bluemarshall6180]

The Ancient Internet Troll Of Knowledge Sledge was Snafu's Pallbearer.

[@freddfish]

I was looking at the thing through the lens of a drama, not as the characters were in real life. I'm allowing the film makers a bit of poetic license

[@ryanwillett728]

Snafu contacted Sledge years after the war when his book was published... they became close friends from that point on. No one knew what became of him before that letter he penned to sledge.

[@ryanwillett728]

There is no greater honor nor greater burden than to carry a fellow Marine to his final resting place.....

[@aurelianspodarec2629]

Hmmm. Good catch! Just my 2 cents, talking about getting off the train, he was alseep, why wake him up? I mean... like what you just said. I don't know, I think id do same thing. No one ever awaits me in the airport or wherever I go. Though I had little of family and friends, if any. At first I though there was something wrong with him, in a way. The way he speaks. I don't know :) Kinda familiar to me, but on the other part, Lacky is also a character that i'm kinda with, BUT, I'm shynear woman. The other guy, Doctor son, I'm almost like him. Exactly like him. Exactly. 100% that's me. With some characteristics from Lucky perhaps. I mean, a combination, but the Doctor son, I'm like him, and you can add the no friends and yeah. I think I need to re-watch the movie some time soon, or whenever, just watched all of it in two parts. 1-3 then 3--10, but there is more to pick upfrom the movie, as I cleary missed these parts, was more focused on therir emotions, the way their character wasbuild and transformed and their life. And such...

[@punyparkerr]

i love the way snafu and sledge solidified their friendship over a cigarette and little smiles. they almost never left each other's sides after that. beautiful friendship.

[@justanobadi6655]

I like how, in snafu's moral code, being a drafted marine is worse than infidelity

[@ZHBraden13]

In that situation, it is. Shows what kind of person you are if you have to be drafted during that time period. Even Major Dick Winters said he volunteered for the 101st Airborne so he wouldnt get stuck in a foxhole with a draftee who would likely get you killed.

[@guyincognito9831]

Or see it this way: who would you rather have next to you on the line in combat: a volunteer or a draftee?

[@lvsarmy2012]

Old post I know but Major Winters said the same thing to Compton in BoB. They’d rather have the best next to them in a foxhole and not some draftee who’d probably get them killed.

[@Tacofiend92]

He did a good job playing this role

[@harrymallory7963]

This leaves out a particularly telling scene, I think around near when Snafu is chucking pebbles into the skull of a dead Japanese machine gunner. Snafu is a disturbed character, somewhat manacling at times, but when Sledge goes after some gold teeth, Snafu gets angry at him and scolds Sledge over some made up concern over what disease Sledge might catch from doing something Snafu had had no qualms of doing, almost as if Snafu knows thats out of character for his friend to be doing. As if to say "Dont become like me". That was an interesting scene.

[@joneszer1]

It’s a very good scene for sure. Sanfu knows at that point in time the Eugene isn’t completely taken/consumed by the war. Later on on Okinawa you can see that it’s the latter however.

[@yadacoleman65]

I know what youre talking about; it was the scene when they finally got atop Bloody Nose Ridge... but Snafu mistook that Sledge was cutting out gold teeth and warned him against it but then found out that Sledge was only going to cut out the emblem off the dead Japanese soldiers uniform.

[@erikquint3904]

I will become the monster that is needed, so you wont have to

[@Aethgeir]

Yeah that was a powerful scene. It was the moment when you realize that crazy as Snafu is, he's actually a good dude who looks out for his friends, even if he's too far gone himself. It really changed the way I saw the character. Might've been a bit too grim for KZbin though. Especially with how ban-happy they've become lately.

[@chadschaive6214]

It's an interesting scene However if you read sledgehammers book it was a medic who told him not to do it not SNAFU. That is the old Hollywood taking a little bit of liberty with the story for dramatic effect.

[@TheStarcraftJACKAL]

Sledge: I won't show it to 'em then. Then Snafu smiled - it's one of the best "You're cool, bro." moment I've ever seen.

[@meganoob12]

It was the one line that broke the ice between them. Snafu seemed to be a dick to everyone, especially the new arrivals. I think it was to protect himself. Similar to what is said in Band of Brothers, you shouldn't get too close with the replacements if you know they are too green and will die soon anyways. Then it's better not to get attached to protect you own mental health.

[@kevinh9110]

Snafu was finding an excuse to show affection after Sledge saved his ass.

[@danielwilliams3978]

When Sledge sat down reading the letter from his parents about his dog dying is an important scene. This scene shows how well these Marines knew each other. Just the look on Sledge’s face told Snafu something was really bothering Sledge. Then Snafu talked about 7 years for a dog for every one year of a human. Snafu was attempting to comfort Sledge. This scene shows how close these Marines had become. They knew more about each other than their own family members did. Combat brings out the best of each and each Marine knows how much each needs each other. I think this scene should be added to your compilation.

[@wattsnottaken1]

“Eugene, I’m sorry about your dog” He really meant it too. I love how this Mini series shows how close men become when they go through traumatic events together. “Trauma bond” I think it’s called

[@goldfishprime]

That's true too. Sister getting married, aunt dying, but when it's your dog died... "Fuck :( "

[@billyb4790]

Not to mention the value of a life. They mow down hundreds of Japanese, see countless of their own getting killed, but somehow a dog still holds true value. It’s touching in a disturbing way.

We don't get to see what he was like before the war but it seems to be implied that he is very much damaged by his experiences. If his family had been waiting, would they even recognize him anymore?

[@detectivedonaldkimball]

@@Aethgeir no offense, but does everybody that goes to war have to end up "damaged", did the war change him? probably, but people change from life experiences even if they did not go to war Sledge was a marine and a professional during his service time, he mentored Eugene, after the war he started a family and worked a blue collar job, he had a fondness for gambling and ended up reuniting with Sledge some years later my take, Sledge did well enough after the war, and I don't think he would be so different had he not gone to war

I was so surprised when I fist watched the Pacific to see the actor of Snafu. I only knew him from that weird sitcom I watched when I was a teenager. He was playing that gay iranian teenager from next door. So different in this! But having him say goodbye to Sledge wouldn't have fit his character nor the real story. I mean, he kinda was a dick for the most part right? He began to trust Sledge because he noticed that he was a good marine, but to others he was a total dick. He barely cared for others, only for himself. Even so he is one of my favourite characters, because he is kinda weird from the get go. But seeing how even he can't take the horrors of war anymore at some point and that he was starting to lose it too was a great anti war moment.

The Japanese would take an American prisoner and torture them slow so the americans could hear the screams... Years after the war... Sledges wife whispered sledge hammer in Eugene sledges ear to see if he would wake up... He did... That was an amazing story to me...

[@Petzah]

The scene where Snafu gets off of the train without getting to say goodbye to Eugene breaks my heart...

I love the emphasis on how its a no smoking zone

I had the opportunity to serve in the First Marine Division (Blue Diamond patch) and wear the same French Fourragere. Our unit even earned the same Presidential Unit Citation they’re wearing. I know our war was nothing compared to theirs, but I can’t help but be proud to have had something in common with these men. Until the day I day, I will carry that pride with me. Semper Fi to all my fellow Marines, and thank you to every American that makes this country better - no matter your contribution.

Had two of this type in my company. Great entertainment when they aren't all over you and busting your balls. Twist is that when you fail to hold your laugh, they will come for you next.

Semper fi brothers, it was you that made us free.....

[@Schniedel69]

Old Dog they went to japan to free america?

[@lilosnitch3247]

Ya .....u freed americans...by enslaving others

[@ecdesperados5524]

@@Schniedel69 Uh yeah, the Japanese savagely surprise attacked Pearl harbor and killed thousands of Americans. If we didn't fight back against the Japanese and we let their conquest go unanswered then the Japanese would have invaded mainland America. I wouldn't say that they made Americans free, rather that they kept us free.

Rami Malek's portrayal of Cletus, the Slack-Jawed Yokel is simply exquisite.

These United States Marines and Navy Corpsmen that fought in the Pacific are the greatest men that ever walked the earth.
