Heroes of World War 2 - Pacific Theatre Tribute

[xValerieBeliebs]

American navy's signature moves are actually pretty deadly, a swarm of air planes overwhelm the enemy battleships while the carrier is guard by supply ships / battleships. If you can bypass the American sea terroritory, you are pretty good.

Australian soldiers have always achieved successed out of all proportion to their numbers. It is just that these great victories were overlooked at the time and then later obscured by military historians.

Many forget the British also defeated the Japanese army under General William Slim. Although as usual, Slim's and Britains contribution to the U.S. war effort in the Pacific has been ignored in U.S. history books. For three years, the British halted the advance of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Burma that could have been otherwise redeployed against U.S. forces in New Guinea, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. If Britain had been defeated, the U.S. would have been overwhelemd.

[SlaineOz]

@allerai And even amongst us Aussies, many forget that the first checks to the IJA's advance was given by us to them in the Malayan jungles, when we bloodied their noses before they outflanked us thru areas controlled by British & Indian troops. Of course, we really bloodied them on the Kokoda Track, & smashed their attack in the jungles of New Guinea!

[MegaMad4Mongooses]

[tapping24frets]

[WW2fanhere47]

brings tears to my eyes

[pkm100]

amerykanie, gówno stracili na tej wojnie, i myślą że uratowali świat, jak nasz 1 polski żołnierz przypadał nawet na 40 nazistów, a cywil podczas buntu nawet na 5

potem nas sprzedały cioty i pełnia szczęścia...

[acosta139]

all people where heroes and i am sad for all the soldiers who died in this bloody war 

[ceekay96]

watched a programme on this war. They were in there for nearly 4 years it looked blooody terrible. The japanese were happy to live on bamboo(which was about) and rice. The English were looking for a roast!!! As for suffering look how the japanese treated POW's to make railways!!!

[marcosmattevi]

Só quem pasou por isso para saber o que significa.

[Witiyana]

Heroe's Indeed as the song says at the start. . .'"you layed your lives down so a stranger could live".

Took on a formidable enemy and won the Pacific War.

Good to see Aussies in the video too!

[priorblade666]

R.I.P. Ray-Allen-Lynn, my granfather, a hero, a friend.............god bless all that gave their life to save the innocent.........god shed love on thee...........

[HistorysMysterys]

Great video tribute, they really are true American hero's. Fucking jap bastards...

[0oCrimsono0]

R.I.P all the downed soldiers that were on Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Peleliu... may they never be forgotten

[JPOGTrex]

@grouchyone1 so sorry dude i sulate him and apreciatre him

[Szabeex]

what is the song?

[GibboSASR]

@Szabeex its Bryan Adams - Never Let Go

[comustal]

the real hero's where accually the soviets they suffered more and took Berlin.

[GibboSASR]

@comustal so no one in the pacific was a hero? the guys in the pacific took numerous islands from the hands of suicidal japanese

[comustal]

@GibboSASR but there are heros in the passific also but the soviet union suffered more, i am not a camp choser i just look at the facts.

[GibboSASR]

@comustal so because one specific nation suffered more losses it makes them more of a heroic nation than others?

[darkswerk]

@comustal Hey asshole just do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up. You probably have never even been in the military everyone who has atleast signed their name on the contract for the military is already a hero.

[comustal]

@darkswerk you are right.

[EutuveX]

@comustal

What's your point ? The uploader is paying tribute to some poor souls who were draft to go and get killed in a brutal and supid war ( all them are )...

All nations involved in WWII paid a high price ( Germans as well, but they should have none better then follow Devil Mustache )

As for Russia, I believe Stalin "caused" more Russian deaths then the Nazis did..am I ill informed ?

[ImperialGuard9001]

@comustal Ya say that to German American British Australian New Zelander Japanese Soldier that were foxholes in bunkers in field fighing and trying to make their best for their country! I would like to see in Normandy facing german bullets or iN Stalingrad fighing street to street battle agianst Soviets! All soldiers are heroes is true that soviets were real cuase for german defeat but taht doesnt mean they were more brave

[EutuveX]

@comustal

" brutally " took Berlin !

[pushpins121]

@comustal .....................UNSUNG HEREOS......are Canadians in WW1 and WW2.........Vimy Ridge...JUNO beach (most heavily fortified beach on the D-Day attack) all of these big war things are about USA............they had to get bombed to join the war.

[GibboSASR]

@pushpins121 Canadians and Australians are the unsung heroes, they always seem to get over looked. Aussies have Gallipoli, Beersheba, Villers, first Japanese defeat in ww2 (Kokoda), first German defeat (Tobruk), but they never get mentioned.

[sushanalone]

the pathetic fact about wars is we respect those who fought and died and probaboly won, and totally forget the civilians and others who are killed in much greater numbers, the innocents whos paretns are killed when they are just infants , and lives that are destroyed for ever, i fail to understand how we can devote a bit of respect to events such as wars, though i understand and respect the sacrifice made by people who fought the fruitless endevour. peace and GL.

[SirAceMcFly]

Good Vid!

[AussieMum99]

No one in the New Guinea war is happy. My dad lived his life sad. His stories never left him. A Commando has many sad stories. I would tell some but it is better they are left back when. I can only say thank you Aussies. You really made the difference.

[GibboSASR]

what about it??

[GibboSASR]

wats freakin cool?

[RubberIceCream]

Listen guys, the tribute is great. I think it's fitting and respectable but war sucks. I'm going to Afghanistan at forty eight years old because my son turned seventeen today. He has an ROTC scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. I don't want him fighting Tally and Al as a 2nd Lt in four years. We did indeed, get Japped again on 9/11 but this war has got to end without loosing face or, every fanatic with a hard on for the USA will attack us. Possibly Canberra next, who knows. C'ya if I live

[GibboSASR]

Good luck over there mate, all the best!

[sushanalone]

@RubberIceCream  Good luck!

[RubberIceCream]

@sushanalone / Thank you. Luck? I dunno, careful - yes! The Kandahar Offensive is the big payback for 9/11 except, they know were coming. The Al Queda leadership could simply pull out. We find nothing, leave and then they hit us. - That's just me. I NEVER LEAVE, either scenario. Thanks again.

[Nickmard]

I think they are Kiwis in the video with the howizter. Unless they are aussies wearing Kiwi hats. Im glad because Aussies forget we are even part of aNZac. Shame on you.

[GibboSASR]

yea they probably r kiwis, but who knows? and not every aussie forgets about kiwis, just the less educated ones

[codeXnecro]

Nice footage, can't say the same about the music :P

[GibboSASR]

culdnt think of any other song that fit, i certainly wasnt gonna put sum screamo on like in other vids

[RubberIceCream]

Really good film footage + the work you put into it A+ work. The music kind of kills it ... smacks of left wing tough talk until the shit hits the fan.

[GibboSASR]

how does the music kill it?

[BroadCastTuber]

Those Marines stormed those beaches like it was already theirs.

such bravery.

[MonteLSV6]

because it was.

[mags9158]

thanx  for posting.

[GibboSASR]

yea it was a definate for the vid
