The true story of Carlson's Raiders and their World War II attack on Makin Island. Seven weeks after Pearl Harbor, volunteers form the new 2nd Marine Raider Battalion whose purpose is to raid Japanese-held islands. The men selected come from different walks of life but have toughness in common. Under command of Colonel 'Thorwald', they're trained in all imaginable forms of combat. Then, after a perilous submarine journey, they face a daunting first mission: to annihilate the much larger Japanese garrison on Makin Island, in a lengthy battle sequence.
"Gung Ho!" is the Battle cry of the Marine raiders.
Starring a young Robert Mitchum, Randolph Scott, Noah Beery Jr., Alan Curtis, Sam Levene, and J. Carrol Naish.
Originally released on December 20, 1943.

if it wasn't for toxic masculinity, we would either be speaking german or japanese.
Sad ,that love of country does ‘ t exist today.college students don’t know our past because American history isn’t taught.many would not fight for America today.
the other point is that those young people aren't exposed to the WW2 veterans like my late father.
the students of today are not exposed to the WW2 veterans like my late father.
I think every generation thinks they are better than the next generation but when push comes to shove our following generations will rise up and overcome. My grandfather fought at Vimy Ridge with 22 nd regiment [ Vandoos] . Survived the war and raised a family of eight. In 1939 he tried to enlist but was refused due to age. He joined the Home Guard and guarded nazi prisoners at Red Rock Ontario. When the time comes our boys will for fight freedom and us , no doubt.
You don't know your American history if you believe this version is not complete BS.
I spent 28yrs in the Army. I would not join the Army today. Our government is compromised and corrupt. Nope. If you cannot recognize that, time to realize what is happening.
The greatest generations deffo 💚
@@johnkennedy972 Great killers of civil persons, deffo.
Truly the greatest generation.
Hard times made great men.
And those great men made easy times.. But those easy times made weak men that we have to suffer today. Weak men that will inevitably bring about hard times.. And I pray that these hard times once again makes great men who will be willing to lay the sacrifices at the altar of freedom the way the greatest generation did so eagerly.
No man left behind
That’s not always true! Unfortunately, some were left behind. These special elite groups had their orders and knew the circumstances of what may happen if they didn’t get back to their rendezvous destinations. I don’t say that I agree with what happened to these individuals, but it was war! Some men sacrificed themselves for the benefit of others! ❤

I know its just a movie but God Bless The US Soldiers!!
They are not soldiers. They are Marines.
And don't forget the war criminals.
Amen!
Amen and Amen!
Actual raid was aCharlie Foxtrot. Marines were left behind

As a MARINE and a RANGER , from 1987 to 1998, with 1 Year and 4 Months in the Army National Guard ( ARNG) and US Army Reserve ( USAR) , It is a Gift of and from GOD Almighty Himself , that, We AMCITS ( American Citizens) are , really and truly, blessed with an Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard ( Active Duty, Reserve Component, National Guard) poised to strike at the Enemies, Both Foreign and Domestic, of the United States. And especially, Our Tier One Special Missions Units ( SMUs) and Tier Two Special Operations Forces ( SOF) , such as the Marine Raiders , as featured in " Gung Ho" , starring Randolph Scott and Robert Mitchum. Today's Critical Skills Operators ( MOS 0372) and Special Operations Officers ( MOS 0370) that form the Marine Raider Regiment of MARSOC , come from the Marine Raiders and ParaMarines of World War II, where Semper Fidelis meets Always Faithful Always Forward and Spiritus Invictus. 🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🌎⚓🪂🤿🪖💣💥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇲
My two brothers served in the US Marines. Semper Fi.👍🌎🗽⚓🪖
@@josemoreno3334 Amen and Roger That, Solid Copy, Jose Moreno. Thank GOD ( Father,Son, Holy Spirit) for Their Naval Service, Enlisted Rank , as MARINES , and, GOD Bless You Yourself, Jose. Semper Fidelis!! 🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🌎⚓🪖🎖️💣💥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇲
Thank you for your service!
I took care of a navy submariner who served on the Nautilus which was one of the subs in this raid. I wish those men could have been given more credit since their subs gave up their torpedoes to carry the Marines.
❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fine movie!!!
Propaganda . Needed for the War effort .
Yup.
jimfritz2087 : Jim , You Yourself do realize that " Propaganda" is NOT such a bad word, per se, and, That is NOT what I Myself AM implying that You said. It merely means to promulgate the ideas, ideology, and truths of America and The United States Constitution.🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🌎⚓🪖🎖️💣💥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇲
@JohnRodriguez-si9si I know that during WW 2 , both Allied + Axis countries put out propaganda films. To boost morale + raise money for their war efforts . That's all my original post said. No problems on my end. Best Wishes to you .
@@jimfritz2087knowing now that they can print money at will, do you still see it the same way?
@yousername78 the " Back to the Future" mentality . 👎 👎
God also bless the natives who cared for our wounded
All US Marines left behind were executed by the Japanese. The Japanese General responsible for their murders was tried and executed after the war.
Thank you, !!!
Whoops Robert Mitchum not Kirk.
Randolph Scott fought in ww1. He was an artillery officer in the army.
In 2024 the love story part of the move is not what it was then. Then, she needs to pick one guy. Now, she has 2 guys.
covered in tatts and 2/3 kids in tow..!
👍👊
This movie would never be made today but it was need then in order to show the cruelty of the Imperial Japanese Army. Those bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were need to stop the inhumanity of that Army. We are headed there today but we need a hero to lead us and her name is not Kamala Harris.
You want the draft dodger trump ??
@@btcbob11392Trump is nothing but a COWARD...
😃👌🏻
the baps were a tough, never say die lot, I'm surprised US, UK et al beat them so quickly. If it wasn't for the big bombs they'd still be fighting now..!
I think it was hard to believe that the first guys going through didn't bother looking overhead. Seriously, I don't believe it, after all that training
R A I D E R S !!!!!
Part of the Greatest Generation
Not many oscars given out for this movie!!!! LOL
going in a dawn doesn't make any sense to me.
Of course this movie was made to inspire a war time audience. It is not a 'historically accurate' type of movie. This movie is for people interested in seeing what the public was seeing at that time. If one is interested in the story of the Makin Island raid it is better to look elsewhere.
As one of the first actions in the Pacific War it had its share of problems and mistakes. It is actually quite controversial and very interesting.
Amen and Amen.
What a wierd bit of pro Am war propaganda, Not a bad film all the same.Did I see a young Kirk Douglass in this?
Patriotic,, but the real event was not as succesful as depicted in the movie..but Hollywood is notorious for taking liberties with actual history...always has been...
This is such a stupid movie. This not even close to depicting what actually happened with the Makin Island raid. The heroic story of these men is far more glorious than what these jackass film makers produced. I couldn't even watch it until the end, it's so bad. Terrible movie. The facts of the true story are so much more amazing to consider as to what these men endured and accomplished. The mission had a lot of things go wrong because the planning was not exactly the best. It was a new concept (America's first special forces) and I'm sure they learned a lot from the failures. Some men were unintentionally left behind and they were eventually captured by the Japanese and beheaded. There were great successes and great failures in the mission. This movie is far from an accurate account of this historical story.
Propaganda . For the war effort .
What's the best book about what actually happened?
@@ric5210Grimms Märchen😂
Was the true story general knowledge when this flick was made? Probably not. The film Wake Island was mainly conjecture as no one knew what had actually happened to the defenders when the film was rushed out for propaganda reasons.
I realize that the movie isn’t accurate and that there were mistakes made on both sides during the actual raid, however, it’s just a movie.
MASH wasn’t accurate either, but it was entertainment.
I don’t say these things lightly as I had family serve our country. My paternal grandfather served in WWI. His three oldest sons served in WWII one of which didn’t make it home. My father served in the Korean War and went on to Japan and then Vietnam. My maternal uncle served in the Vietnam War and was exposed to Agent Orange and struggled with health issues the rest of his life. My son in-law served in Iraq and is now permanently disabled. 😢
So sorry that you think this is such a terrible movie, but I am enjoying watching it.
Schools don’t have the time to teach every aspect of the different scenarios that took place during WWII as there was so many facets of the war. I don’t remember learning about the Makin Raiders. I looked at up to understand what happened, but it didn’t deter me from continuing to watch the movie. There have been a lot of movies made based on actual events, but the directors and producers couldn’t be 100% accurate because they didn’t have the time or the budget.
While I understand and agree with what you’re saying about this movie not depicting what actually happened, it’s just that…a movie!
I am proud of all of my family members and friends who have served this great country, and if you served, I thank you for your service! I cannot hold Hollywood accountable for what was left out of any movie. I choose to accept the positive impact that these movies portray! Right or wrong doesn’t always mean accuracy it means that it is an historical account of what happened.
What ever happened to God's Law of "Thou shall NOT kill? If you kill, you burn in hell. Bible fact. That is why I never joined a fighting unit. 😇
I believe the translation should be Thou shalt do no Murder"...and the reason I say that starts with Joshua. What's the first thing he does after entering the Promised land?? Destroy Jericho and kill every living thing: Man, Woman, Child, Ox, Donkey-all by God's direct command. I recall that a later Hebrew king got into trouble with God for keeping several oxen alive after a battle, where complete destruction had been ordered. Murder and Killing, oddly enough, are not the same.
unfortunately, people like the Japanese and Nazis were not Christians!
