These poor young men. Went in scared & came out to our heroes. I have so much respect to these men. It breaks my heart what they went through. God bless you all & God bless America.

[@ToddandAmandaWilliams-bm8mi]

It's truly sad how one mans greed can cause so many deaths God bless all our military personnel and all our allies that are fighting for our safety and freedom

When humanity doesn't stand up in front of evil this is what happens.Example after world war one,the Society Of Nations limited the military capability of Germany, but when Hitler came to power in 1933, he started rearming Germany, everybody knew of his plans he never hid them but the trauma resulting in four long years of fighting made Europeans reluctant to engage in a limited military campaign or sanctions to stop him,Because of that the world had to deal with another war that lasted almost six year(1939-1945).

[@michaellust2030]

In one sense, the battle of Midway was won in the Coral Sea. The Kido Butai was caught flat-footed at Midway, in part, because the first air strike on Midway was deemed inadequate. If Shokaku and Zuikaku had not been damaged in the Coral Sea, they would have been at Midway, along with Kaga, Akagi, Hiryo and Soryu. The first strike on Midway would more likely have neutralized the installation, the combat air patrol over the fleet would have been more powerful, and even the recon runs in the morning could have been more thorough... the Japanese fleet would not have been so helpless, and would have had a much stronger punch to throw at the American carriers. Yorktown and Lexington accomplished far more than could have been known by the men of their fleet, at the time.

Adm Nimitz Never Liked Gen McArthur. He Said McArthur Was Overrated!

[@JamesLorrain]

Nimitz was correct as usual. McArthur was a narcissistic megalomaniac.

[@thadiusthudpucker]

That comment is extremely underated

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

Proximity fuses were a huge advance for our military. God bless America 🇺🇸

[@stuartmacleod8166]

Atomic weapons,industrial output and being deeply pissed about Pearl Harbor are all big factors for our positive outcome I feel

[@kickinwinghotboi883]

The story of the lower torso being blown in the air and landing bare ass up in front of the sitting marine was probably the funniest thing this guy's had seen up to that point. It had me laughing, and hearing the guy still laugh just telling the story makes me believe it even more

You know, I just cant figure it out... How USA with no war or battle experience, have such low loses compared to the Japanese that had years of experience and with special focus on jungle warfare training, can someone explain this to me? Not to mention that the Japanese were on defence, which means that in addition to their experience, they had all the advantages...

[@lolitodocallos1223]

its because jap people were indoctrinated to fight until death. They are hellbent in defending their home island..

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

The Japanese has always answered that: we had the medics, which saved many lives, and America had more resources. The IJ military could not replace their ships, planes, fuel, food supplies. A stronger military defeated the Japanese.

[@stuartmacleod8166]

Doctrine of overwhelming firepower would be first on my list of why we had successful outcomes of the majority of engagements Abundant resources,combined arms and superior codebreaking and communicating amonst combatants would be orher major points worthy of mention ....

[@SNP-1999]

What those US Marines went through during the war in the Pacific was indeed the closest thing to hell on earth that one can imagine. To get a glimpse at the horrors those men went through, I can highly recommend watching the HBO series "The Pacific" which tells the true stories of men of the 1st Division USMC during the campaign.

[@kennethmacdonald8561]

Reply to ThreeBattRanger.....Army myself (Vietnam) so not prejudiced either way. Except for Philippines can't think of any Island campaign where Marines weren't involved. Lets agree that both branches did a tremendous job fighting a tough resourceful but under supplied and undermanned enemy. Greatest generation

Welcome back Kenneth

[@InnocentAlpineVillage-gc1sh]

The British Aircraft carriers in the Pacific had fewer losses.but.we only had a few. but we had iron decks.

[@kennethmacdonald8561]

No. 1. Our troops were Marines. Tough as they come. We had naval air and ship superiority after Midway. No.2. We could supply are forces with food ,ammo, medical etc..There's more but. No.3 and most important Japanese never surrendered and could not retreat.. Would gladly give their life to their emperor

[@ThreeBattRanger]

Slight quibble - more amphibious invasion occurred in the Pacific with Army troops than Marines. Those men are often forgotten about, but participated in almost every invasions the Marines did.

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

From the attack on pearl harbor to the 911 attacks with pretty much the same casualties losses on those days is unbelievable 😮🤦

[@CSAFD]

"The war will be over in a matter of weeks, on to Richmond!" Was the Yankee battle cry, then came bull Run, SHILOH, 7 days, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg? Atlanta, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Franklin, Nashville, Petersburg and Appomattox. 750,000-1.5 million casualties from 1861-65. Shiloh 23,000 in 2 days Antietam 22,017 in 12 hours Gettysburg 53,000 in 3 days But World War Two casualties of 6,000 on Iwo Jima and Okinawa which took weeks/months of fighting...🤔

[@MingHuiLisaTsai]

Dear all, wars are 'big shiits', Americans have always defended their pacific coastlanes and lifestyles. Economists, environmentalists and negotiators tend to conduct reasonable negociations, up until today. Commitments. These Japanese also mess up with Koreans and Chinese. And these Japanese mess up with other citizens of the world Save the dolphins, sea lions and maritime lifes... As our oceans have their roles to regulate climates on earth...

Their aircrafts were poorly armored ? Their aircraft HAD no armor at all, such as a turkey shoot it was.

[@wodens-hitman1552]

The British had been fighting the Japanese before you knew where japan was

[@SNP-1999]

Even as an Englishman myself I am not quite sure where you got that theory from. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour on the 7th December 1941 and Hong Kong on the 8th, after which they attacked Malaya and later Singapore. The British were therefore not at war with Japan before America was in WW2, unless you mean something else entirely.

[@ThatboredguyinCanada]

Did that guy honestly say he doesn’t know anywhere in all of WW2 there was a concentration of death like Tarawa? How about the concentration camps .

[@stuartmacleod8166]

I made the exact same comment prior to reading yours I added European battles as well but I first thought exactly as you did 😊✌️🙏

[@ThatboredguyinCanada]

@@stuartmacleod8166 yea could name so many battles. Especially if we’re adding civilians , Okinawa alone the had like 120,000 civilians or something that campaign. Over 60 million people dead in 6 years thats 10M a year thats 833,333,333 a month

[@Chad-z7c]

War in the pacific and no mention of Guadacanal?

[@macgordonaberese-ako4587]

USA was a huge industrial empire. Why pick a fight with such a giant.

[@stuartmacleod8166]

The narrator commented that Tarawa was the most concentrated area of death in WW2 Not to disparage his knowledge or truthfulness but my mind immediately countered that statement with thoughts of the busiest of the concentration camps of Eastern Europe 1000 American & 3000 Japanese deceased is paltry compared the numbers of victims shot,gassed and or burned at those horrific places.... Several of the major battles between the Soviets and Germans alone surpass 4000 kia as well Leningrad and Stalingrad each surpass that total easily I in no way art tempt to diminish the sacrifice of the combatants on any side in that horrible conflict that was ww2

[@molnarriki4876]

No matter what but im giving honor to all this japanese fighters.brave people.real patriots.and the atomic bombs.till this day us is the only country did it.and thats a shame what nobody newer can washed off

[@CharlieDexter99]

They were pretty much morons that thought their emperor was a divine being, they ra@ed and tortured and unalived people all across China, they ate POW’s. They deserve absolutely ZERO honor. You, are quite possibly the lowest level intelligence subject I’ve ran across here, your comment is ridiculous and I award you no points.

[@CharlieDexter99]

And for the A-Bomb? Thankfully we didn’t have to invade Japan because the death toll would have been higher. Anyone with even a 3rd grade education level knows this.

[@ZoltanErdos-j6w]

Oke guys! Let’s face it! The motives to attack Pear Harbor because United States banned all import and export to or from Japan because joined to the Nazis! That’s why Japan attacked for revenge! I’m sorry for the lost lifes of millions of people!
