@@DustinAxelson Sorry but I don't understand your question. Is about the significance of the word "meaniest"? There's something wrong grammatically or syntactically with my sentence? Keep in mind English is not my first language, so if I made any mistakes by all means point them out. 👍
@@cardiaco3789 The correct spelling/word would be "meanest", meaning the most mean (as in unfair, cruel etc). Meaniest sounds more like it would be from the word "meany" which is usually a more playful way of describing someone as being bad, eg "you took the last slice of pizza you big meany!". In casual conversation, "meaniest" would be fine, but it is not a real word so is again going even more playful with the term as it would rarely if ever be used, but would sound more childish or fun if that is your intent. I hope that helps, since you mentioned english not being your first language :)
An uncle of mine operated one of those boats that took marines to the beaches of each island invasion. What they don’t tell you is a few hours later they go back to collect the wounded. After the war he spent some time in mental institutions trying to recover from the horrors.
I read about some of that in a book on Tarawa. Those are some unsung heroes that’ll never get a movie or adaptation due to not being under fire and the nature of their work. But they gave each boy of ours a proper burial and to at least be honored for their sacrifice. I just hope he knows how many people he helped.
Sledge kept a journal in the margins of his Bible, which later became the basis for his memoir “With The Old Breed”, which he wrote nearly 40 years later. It is often regarded as one of the best war memoirs of all time. There’s some really brutal stuff in the book that doesn’t make it in the show. For instance, Peleliu was mostly made of coral and it was nearly impossible to dig foxholes for protection or to burry bodies. As a result, the bodies from both sides were left where they fell and they festered in the 44C degree heat. The flies gorged themselves on the corpses and grew to be massive. Sledge wrote about how they would fly from a body and onto their food as they were eating and there was nothing they could do to avoid it. For days after the beach landing, the Marines struggled to get enough supplies ashore and what water they did have came in giant gasoline barrels that weren’t properly cleaned so the water was tainted by the residue. The battle of Peleliu has been called the toughest battle the US military fought in the entirety of WW2.
S&P probably already finished The Pacific, but way to spoil a show for them! Why don’t you wait until the end of the series to write your comments about Eugene and Leckie writing books that the show was based on!
Can you edit this statement to where it makes more sense? Your wording is hard to follow; not trying to be rude or malicious, I just want to understand your fact with more clarity.
@@sayiansweetThey lost hundreds of guys taking the airfield. However, the US never really used the airfield to attack the Japanese because the front lines changed and other airfields were more tactically useful.
I was a son of a Navy veteran Pacific .my parents friends were combat vets,mostly eto.but also marines.i was always a history buff.i respected this generation emensly.and asked questions,they never told me this enormity of terror,wish this quality film came sooner so more generations could tell them thank you.
The Battle of Peleliu was so intense that, after the airfield was captured and American aircraft flown in, they would apparently take off the runway and then drop their bombs and empty their guns within moments, and immediately turn back around to land and rearm so they could go back up again. They spent more time on the ground being reloaded than they did in the air.
The Corsair and Hellcat pilots would reportedly not retract their landing gear because they didn’t have enough time to do so. Incredibly brave of those guys to fly such dangerous sorties
I read somewhere about the marine that was hit with a shovel and killed. It was his friend that accidentally killed him. He tried to knock him out with that shovel, but with all of the adrenaline he accidentally hit him with too much force. I imagine that must have been hard for that man to live with, that he accidentally killed his friend by bludgeoning his head with a shovel.
In movies, you can conveniently knock someone unconscious with no ill effects. In real life, someone losing consciousness from an impact to the head will almost always cause trauma or permanent injury. Concussion, brain bleed, TBI, etc. One blow to the head can easily be fatal. There's a documentary called "One Killer Punch", about people who were killed by a single blow.
@@jennas3212 You're right about that. I saw a video here on TH-cam about a British guy that accidentally killed someone from punching them during a drunken altercation. The man was devastated that he'd accidentally killed someone. If I remember correctly, he now does public speaking and warns young people of the dangers so that they don't make the same mistake that he did. The whole situation is tragic. A young man lost his life needlessly, and now the man that accidentally killed him is guilt ridden and could likely struggle with PTSD for the rest of his life, all because of a drunken altercation at a pub, likely over something stupid and not worth fighting over.
My Grandfather was on the "Canal " and a few other places and after i came back from Basic training for the Army he told me a story of how he had to use his combat knife to kill a visitor who jump in his hole and how he could feel the life leaving his body as he killed him in hand to hand combat and had to sit in the hole with his body till the sun came up. he said he hopes i never have to do that.
A relative of mine was a Marine who fought on Iwo Jima. My dad told me that he apparently witnessed his best friend being shot in the battle. I remember him when I was a kid and there was something off about him. Very intense, a bit of a wild man, drank a lot, etc. I remember he climbed on my grandparents roof to clear tree limbs and thinking it was weird for an old man to do that. My dad said he hated the Japanese until the day he died. It's really sad what it does to people.
My grandad was in the navy in the Pacific. As far as I know, he never got close to any kind of combat, he served on an auxiliary ship that did maintenance on damaged ships in port or at sea. But he hated the japanese his whole life after the war. That's one big difference between europe and the Pacific. Those guys that fought in europe didnt seem to hold hate for germans after the war, but the guys who fought in the pacific did. Interviews with some of the actual men in this series, especially burgin, show that they still hated the japanese.
My grandfather on my stepdad's side of the family fought in the Pacific. My dad would often talk about how all the kids had to hide behind the furniture when his dad would wake up in the middle of the night having a flashback and waving his gun around. My dad hated the Japanese all of his life.
The problem with the water during the battle for peleliu was like I said on a previous video was they were not expecting to be there for 3 months and so they didn't have adequate drinking water and when they got the water it was stored in oil drums that wasn't properly scrubbed out
When you have finished the series you need to watch “He Has Seen War,” the 11th episode for this show. You see how the pain of all this continued long after the war. It was suggested on the last episode that you search for the paintings Tom Lea did on Peleliu. The show the horror of this place.
Regarding the series: It gets so much worse My great grandfather was executed by the Japanese Imperial occupation in the Philippines, and the one thing I consistently like to remind myself when watching the Pacific and Band of Brothers is how great a job Germany and Japan have done at being some of our (the USA’s) closest allies since that time. 80 years isn’t that long ago!
Pudgey talking about cheering for the American troops but then saying Japanese troops are people too and she's conflicted. I highly recommend watching Letters From Iwo Jima that focuses on the Japanese troop perspective. Flags of Our Fathers is also a movie about the American troops perspective. It covers the American flag raising at Iwo Jima. It also provides insight into Ira Hayes - and Tribal citizen from my home, the Gila River Indian Community.
Both my paternal and maternal great grandfathers served in WW2. They both made it to the end, but tragically one of them died in a train accident on the way home. One of my earliest memories was going to a military funeral for my great grandpa who survived, it is pretty ingrained in my head because it was the first and hopefully last time I heard guns fire. Not a day goes by that I don't respect both of their sacrifices and the burden the survivor had to live with, as he was responsible for the bombing deaths of hundreds if not thousands of Germans in his bombing runs over Nazi infrastructure.
Just wait till the Iwo Jima and then the Okinawa episodes! My dad's uncle was killed on Iwo! Also , I dated a lady , whose Marine father was one of few Marines who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions on Iwo!
After the series is finished, its worth reading up on some of the islands here. Wouldn't suggest doing it now to avoid 'spoilers' about the campaigns, but yeah, this doesn't get close to the lengths the marines had to endure. I've come to prefer Pacific to BoB due to its shear attempt at honesty of what the troops had to go through. There's little heroism vs what we get in BoB which has an uplifting heroic feel to it. Pacific feels like a movie from the men to us, saying look at the price we have to pay.
One thing that really gets me in this episode is how much it touches on the humanity lost in war. During the scene with Leckie looking for water on the other dead Marines and his buddies faces as they watch him do this is a sort of callback to when Leckie and his buddies caught the kid choking the one Japanese soldier to death and later ending up locked up because of all the psychological trauma. Another example being Sledge reflecting on the reality that the Marine counting Japanese soldiers could easily have been any of them. Thats the main difference between band of brothers and the pacific for me.
Pudgy asks what it would be like to see your friends go down in a battle. My late father-in-law was a waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator and once told me, "Thank God you never have to see what a 20 mm gun from a Bf109 can do to a man." I did thank God for that but when I was 18 yrs old I was sitting on my front porch talking to a friend of mine when I witnessed a car hit a 6 year old boy sending him several feet through the air. The car took off, a hit and run, my friend jumped in his 53 buick after the driver while I ran to the boy to help him. The kid was really busted up and I struggled to stop the bleeding and did what I could to prevent him from going into shock. I also got some people to manage the crowd that was gathering also telling them to keep the hysterical mother away. It seemed like hour before the ambulance got there. As soon as they did I gladly turned things over to the experts. I got up took 2 steps and nearly fainted. It was such a traumatic experience but what I found amazing was that everything I had learned in my PE first aid class kicked in. I was functioning on automatic pilot. I guess it's the same with soldiers, at the height of combat their training kicks in and they are goal oriented. BTW, my friend caught the driver and brought him back to the scene where he was arrested. As it turned out the car was stolen.
Their are people who can step up in scary/traumatic situations and those who shut down. You never really know which one you'll be until you're in the situation.
Does any one know if t his was the battle of Tarawa, ? The hardest battle the Marines ever faced..My Mother's Cousin was a Marine and Survived the Attack on Pearl Harbor but nearly got killed at Tarawa where he lost a lung, but got a Purple Heart .
My grandfather served in the Pacific he was in the Philippines in 44-45. He never told a soul, not even his wife, until 2000. He suffered from PTSD ever since he came home. He served in the 1st Filipino Regiment US Army. He passed in 2019 at 92 yrs of age. He and his generation are all heroes
The Drums Snafu had them clean in the previous were supposed to be used for water.... they had Deiseal in them prior and obviously the water supply arrived fubar
Yep. The drum scrubbing scene is kind of a neat little easter egg. They never explain WHY they were doing it, so most folks never realised that the water was tainted by the oil mixing with their water.
Thanks for posting this it’s a way to reflect and think of my grandfathers who also fought on this island while the rest of my LA burns around me lol it was a good distraction.❤
Indeed. The more of these reactions I watch the more I realize that women should not be in combat. Aside from their lack of upper body strength, when I see women reacting to this or Band of Brothers and they are invariably in tears despite not having to actually be in combat. This gives a sense of the horrors but visually only, it isn't dealing with the heat and humidity or the cold, the hunger, the thirst, fear, terror, adrenaline, nausea, fatigue, etc. Our English teacher made us watch Dead Poets Society for English Lit class. The girls were all crying by the end of that.
oh kids, it is going to get so so so much worse than this even, brace yourselves. Every single episode from here on out will be harder and more brutal, you cannot even imagine. This series has no let up.
knocking someone out doesnt work like the movies. Youre never going to just knock someone out cold for any real period of time (if you even can) without causing major damage or killing them. And it even happens in real life where people think it will be like the movies.
The boy making the bloody call ... is a real American ;-) Leckie was lucky. The close passage of a large shell near your head has a shockwave, enough to kill you without touching you. Internal hemorrhage.
Palau was way worse then even portrayed in this episode. The 1st marines basically seized to be a fighting force after this battle for awhile. This battle last for a month i think from memory. There is a you tube channel called Unauthorised history of the pacific war hosted by historian's and they have a 5 hour talk of this battle start to finish and cover everything including individual acts of heroism, there is a mastiff called the Umurbrogol with aroubd 500 caves and the japanese turned them into bunker, the japanese were not on the island they were in the island.
The Battle of Pelelieu lasted from September 15 to November 27 when the island was determined to be secure. MacArthur stepped off on Leyte around mid October, which means everything that justified the battle was BS.
Pudgey laughing is a way to start coping it seems. Spartan realizes Having the potential to be in a War situation within 10 years or so is waiting to cope for Later it seems.

There is a you tube channel called Unauthorised history of the pacific war hosted by historian's and they have a 5 hour talk of this battle start to finish and cover everything including individual acts of heroism, there is a mastiff called the Umurbrogol with aroubd 500 caves and the japanese turned them into bunker, the japanese were not on the island they were in the island.
The Battle of Pelelieu lasted from September 15 to November 27 when the island was determined to be secure. MacArthur stepped off on Leyte around mid October, which means everything that justified the battle was BS.
Peleliu was not even necessary for the Allies at that point of the war.
@YakacrakamambA i totally agree. I am pretty sure they took the island for the airfield, which they didn't use
May I ask why chose the name "Pudgy?" Lol you look quite slim
I'm curious too... Maybe she was overweight as a kid? (FYI No American girl would allow that nickname, let alone use it.)
I'm guessing it refers to her cheeks? Not in a bad way or anything...
@rexracer3221 not anymore. Maybe some older ones would
