After reading "With The Old Breed", though the various branches did squabble with each other, they all had a profound respect for each other that seems to have been lost on this selfish generation.
Fighting about which branch is better and especially rubbing your fucking Iraq/Afghanistan tours of duty in others faces goes against everything these brave men fought for.
I doubt any of them today would gloat about their actions to others, they did what they had to, not to impress you fucks.
on the contrary,a Marine will never let himself be passed off a soldier.This started in 1918 because of Pershing's mistake to lump together soldiers and Marines within the AEF into one force with one uniform. This also included taking away the Marine's EGA's. What followed was almost a century of a fight for a seperate Marine identity, and that once action is the reason every Marine thinks he is superior. Regardless of generation, calling a Marine a soldier is always a deep insult
The Marines of the 19th century lived for 90yrs in the shadow of us army defeats. 120 Marines was all that stood between the burning of Washington in 1812. They repelled 3 british attacks and finally the brits just went around them and at that time the us army simply left the Marines' flanks...that and the battle of 1st bull run was the first time the USMC felt a defeat that was out of their control and the us army could be rightfully blaimed....this is older than our century.
This particular trailer led me to beleive that this series was going to be a proper rated-R realistic recreation; A chilling display of the horror of the Pacific.
I was dissapointed in the PG-13 representation, of the horror that is so well documented. The acting was good, but it ought to have been far more graphic.
@centurion180ad I just finished watching the Pacific and I have to admit I was pretty shocked about the Okinawa stuff, ie. The baby's mother with the dynamite. I have a layman's understanding of the last part of the Pacific War. That sequence, basically fighting like animals in a sea of mud and body parts, to me was pretty horrifying. The great thing about these series that Hanks, Speilberg etc produce is that they make us want to know more.
@Sturmmann I disagree the war was just as hard in holland,belgium .etc. as the war in the pacific, would the men who fought in the pacific be able to cope with the cold in the battle of the bulge? no one knows, and the 101st were legends. they were both two very different wars...
@Sturmmann German resistance was fierce and very stiff during operation market garden. The allies came up against SS panzer units in that campaign.. it was by no means an easy fight, so you are very wrong to attempt to down play the carnage in that part of the war. Infact, you do quite a dis-service to all those fought in that campaign by suggesting it was of no consequence. I'm sure anyone who was present at that battle would have something to say about what u said there.
@Sturmmann A little known fact about WWII, more soldiers fought and died in the Pacific than Marines. Another little known fact, the US Army has made more Amphibious landings than the USMC. And as to what you said about the 101 not being able to handle the Germans in Holland, if you do a little research you'll find that the paratroopers landed on a PANZER DIVISION, the Marines never faced anything like that. That being said, I respect all branches & veterans with all of my being.
whats this impression that we as Marines specialize in amphibious landings? We got the Pacific because we had more experience fighting in jungles prior to WW2.
Marines arent light infantry that land on top of the enemy. They spearhead attacks as crack infantry, whether from the sea or by land. Look up what 1st MarDiv did at Chosin for the army in the face of communist armor and outnumbered 50 to 1.... all the while entire army RCTs were being annihilated left and right
@Sturmmann I could've sworn we were talking about WWII but if we're bring up other battles then I bring up the Siege of Khe Sanh, without the 1st Cav the Marines would've been overrun and/or destroyed. Back to the Chosin incident you must not have heard about the 3 7th ID battalions who was right there with the Marines and fought off 3 Chinese regiments. On to Belleau Wood, 2 Army infantry regiments fought next to the 5th and 6th Marines, the only difference was the Marines had a reporter.
@Sturmmann ok, a jarhead stuck on his ass, the marines do the same damn shit as any other branch, and the marines do not have the most amphibious landings, the U.S Army secured most of the islands the marines didnt give a shit about, i mean the Army climed up a fuckin cliff on D Day, oh but according to you thats easy as hell, your a typical marine, once hes in the corps hes hot shit, my Granddad was in the army and he was on all island hopping with the marines, he saw no difference
@717KEv the marines have broken our rules of engagment, Marines have done this since the Korean War, it makes us look like the asses of the world, Vietnam most definitly, the Marines had done more civilian murders than anyone else all because "they had a bad feeling bout them", ha thats not winning trust and respect, thats shitting in there house and not giving a damn to flush it, oh hey i got an idea come talk to my family bout how all the other branches are shit and the marines are bettter...
@717KEv Hey whats a war without civilian deaths, no matter how you look at it there will always be civilian causalities in war. And with this technology and ever expanding world, you will start to notice how many civilians die every day in war. I'm a Airforce Brat, but god bless Marines cause they do the dirty work.
@XxTuGgErNuTxX Murders and thinking your hot shit is completely uncalled for, they have no right to such things, there is no difference between them and the Army, but they believe there is, and thats what pisses me off
Now to stop this from turning into an argument over the internet where nothing gets solved I just want to say I have nothing against the Marines, hell I'm thinking about about joining them (one my brothers is one while another one was a soldier) I just had a problem with you implying that the Army was a bunch of push overs and who couldn't fight. I took offense to that because my father, and a few uncles and countless other family (one of which got his citizenship fighting in WWII) were soldiers
@Sturmmann if you are talking about the army in world war two. You can ask any marine that served in Peleliu ir even Okinawa (the army basically did shit in Guadalcanal) and they will tell you how glad they were of having the army there (vice versa). The Marines may have done more in The Pacific (because the army was mainly in Europe) but the army still came in to help them with support.
@Sturmmann Fighting the Japanese as opposed to fighting the Germans would have taken some getting use to, the same would be true though vice-versa. The German army was all about tactics, and did everything for a very good and practical reason. The Japanese forces were hampered by thier "warrior ethics" and often made serious tactical errors as a result. But without a doubt, the 101st would have adapted to Japanese tactics if they were deployed to the Pacific.
the 101st? you mean the division that suffered 70% at the hand of the rear guard german forces on the western front?
that divisions took in a decent number of prisoners. Unlike 1stMarDiv which took less than a battalion's worth of japs as prisoners during the whole war.
@Sturmmann marines were good but comparable to airborne infantry for sure.both were well trained fighting units, capable of achieving victory on the battlefield.the only difference being in specilization of training, none at all being in proffesionalism, resolve and fighting spirit. of course the marines tell themselves they are the best, just as a thousand other military organisations do, doesn't mean it is actually true.. good for you for being an OIF vet by the way, but that's irrelevant.
airborne is light infantry . Marines arent light infantry, theyre on par with grenadier guards
As an OIF vet, Ive seen the army's lack of situational awareness time and again and thats why the insurgents loved hitting easier targets.Time and again we heard reports from our informants that the insurgents avoided ambushing Marines from my battalion, there was a big reason for that. We didnt go back to the FOB after 3 days of patrolling
@Sturmmann Also, why wouldn't the 101st lasted long in the pacific?? unless they jumped into somewhere where they couldn't be re-supplied, but there is no reason to believe they couldn't fight the japanese under any other circumstance. You aren't really thinking before u r making comments, or you are to young to understand how ignorant and totally misinformed your comments are. Do more research, and make adult comments if you want to be taken seriously.
this series made me ill. it was just to realistic. just watched the 10th part and now I'm heavily depressed. thinking about those soldiers who fought in the real war. it's just senseless death and killing and it makes me sick. humans should really stop killing each other.
@Nynevy seeing as that sadly will never happen, humanity as a whole needs someone to do the dirtywork, some one to keep everyone else safe, and for that purpose alone, they died a better death then anyone else could even wish for. i wouldnt feel bad for them, i envy them, its their families and friends that suffered
they have already been showing this on sky to the 10th episode, i have sky but the thing is i live in Geneva (swiitzerland), and i cant get skyplayer, i really want to watch this!!!!!! it looks fucking amazing!!!
@ForceRecon198 With the Old Breed, is much better than this series. Frankly, the horror of the Pacific is not even close in this series. They pull too many punches. A proper movie would be rated-R borderline X, not a PG-13 romance novel.
I'm more of a navy kind of person, i'm interested in all of the great sea battles like the battle of santa cruz, and the battle of the philippines... aircraft carriers and stuff. But this looks amazing! I can't wait for the box set if it happenes D;
I don't understand why they value the war by the United States finally entered the war when it was over (the Russians), the Americans sought only their market interests (control), because if they did not enter the Russians would liberate all the countries of Europe.
They should make a film of the country that defeated the Nazis and was also the country to set foot in Berlin, they certainly were not the United States.
You know, my grandfather was in the Marines during ww2. The 1st division in fact. And he was shell shocked, and tramatised by that war. Please, dont compare a videogame to this war. To a war so many died in. To a war that so many families were ruined by. its just not right.
Europe was civilized compared to??!! Really? True, pacific land battle was arduous and gruesome but if you think it was more brutal, you need to take a second look at the eastern front; It was much more grim.
Its an American show for an American audience. Its deals with the American Island hoping campaign, theres no reason other nations contribution needs to be shown. The British and australians dont make shows about the American WW2 experience. Personally, I'd like the BBC to do something with my money other than produce another costume soap for old ladies...
Also have to say that this looks ALOT better than Band Of Brothers, battle scenes are amazing, and the drama put on actually really shows, its like they are actually back there
Hanks...youre no Jimmy Stewart. and because you cant keep your leftist mouth shut...your series is hitting 1/3rd of what it should be doing. Hollywood cant hide a true leftist rant from the internet . Things are different now. we dont buy the stuff you put out if you spout off about our military and our nation being terrorists. We'll fid out what you really are...and you'll pay for it....in a lack of sales. Shut up next time Tom.
i got goosebumps man i love band of brothers i got it on dvd till my player burnt out now i got it on blueray and tomorow im so watching this is there a way i can see it online i dont get the channel and im not missing this show please help!
If you mean its repetitive cause of the acting style. Just look deeper than that its about what the men did for us and now if you think about it most WW2 soldiers are dyin. Years pass over and over again and I think if we forget about them and what happened during the war even in WW1 and before that, we shouldn't call ourselves Americans, British, or any other people who fought against the enemies of freedom. We need to Always remember these soldiers and even the soldier in the most recent wars.
I read one of the books this is based off of. This is going to be one crazy series. The book is called with the old breed i think alot of the things in it will make you sick
Both sides of this war american and japanese alike were ruthless. They had pure hatred for each other and didnt think of the other side as human beings. The pacific war was 10X worse than the european war. Where as the european has a certain romance about it. The pacific had none. Thats why hollywood steers clear usually
First of all Band Of Brothers is not repetative what-so-ever. Band Of Brothers is based on the true events of Easy Company of the 101st Airbourne Division during WW II, I am Canadian but personally I have respect for them. If you actually payed attention to the miniseries you would of caught the fact that none of the battles that Easy COY fought in were repetative! ( For all non-military oriented people "COY" is an abreviation for "Company".
@jhak1341 what do you mean, pepetetive. OF COURSE it was repetitive. your friends dying around you in war is the most horrifying repetition to war. that's what makes war so disgusting. and band of brothers, in my opinion, portrayed that terribly sad fact to great success
I'm scared to think how many people are watching this video going "dude, that's f***ing awesome!" instead of "omg, how tragic, how horrible". "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it" -Gen. Robert Edward Lee
they way u phrased that makes it sound like WWII was just a whole theatralic occasion. As if it's more fun to see people fighting & dying there, than it is in europe.
The Pacific front is definitely underrepresented though, I'm excited to see a series about it hopefully with the same level of amazing acting and cinematography from the original BoB.
marines fought island to island in jungles where u cant even see the enemy......in europe u had everything in sight. not saying its easier but they had it tougher.
in this mini-series it looks like it is focused on infantrymen. But i think it would be really cool if they implement an episode of a navy fighter pilot, then an episode of a navy battleship gunner.I believe that the pacific theater was about Naval battle and Air dogfights. Because without em battleships and carrier pushing the IJN, this infantry couldn't have made a landing possible.
they should stay in BoB line, you know, more historical action and less drama. I have to watch it before saying it's better or worse than band of brothers
@multipl3 that's the biggest contridiction I have EVER heard. it'll be about Marines. the most blood thirsty, ass-kicking, keg-draining, warriors this fine earth has ever seen. God bless the Corps! Semper Fi!
Why should god bless the most blood thirsty ass kicking warriors ever seen? Did he tell the Marine Corp to fight in the Pacific? Or did he make the Japanese bomb Pearl in order to get the USA into the war? You are the contridiction.
im inclined to think the japanese had more of the bloodthirsty bit. you know, the whole stabbing people with swords and bayoneting millions of chinese civilians thing they had going on.
you better read a book about the pacific before you talk of bullshit like ''the most blood thirsty, ass-kicking, keg-draining, warriors this fine earth has ever seen.'' such a human does NOT exists in the pacific meadgrinder.
I am half white and half Okinawan. My family had to leave Okinawa after the war because many of them were killed and their land was destroyed... but the Okinawans always remembered the generosity of the American soldiers. Okinawans still to this day believe it was the Japanese who were the aggressors and the Americans as their saviors.
Der Untergang (The Downfall), is a great German movie about the last days of Hitler in the Fuhrer-bunker in Berlin during the Soviet siege of the city. Although it is "about" Hitler in some sense, it also is about the persepctive of the German soldiers, officers, doctors, secretaries, civilians, and others during that time in Spring 1945.
Another great non-american film about war is "A very long engagement" Its french and set in the Great War, and is honestly the best portrayal of the Great War's trench warfare ive seen
@animalmother21: Point of view might make Stalingrad extraordinary but as a film, it's just mediocre (or even bad). I've seen it twice and it seems people only like it because of the point of view. Better example? Das Boot. One of the best war movies ever, too.
there are plenty of movies, major wide release movies, about the Eastern Front. Enemy at the Gates comes to mind.
Americans don't make movies showing the German perspective because here in America we hate Nazis. We don't have a problem with looking at things from a foreign perspective - Inglourious Basterds, All Quiet on the Western Front, Dances With Wolves...
good series don't have a million seasons, just 1 or 2

I don't understand why they value the war by the United States finally entered the war when it was over (the Russians), the Americans sought only their market interests (control), because if they did not enter the Russians would liberate all the countries of Europe.
They should make a film of the country that defeated the Nazis and was also the country to set foot in Berlin, they certainly were not the United States.

You know, my grandfather was in the Marines during ww2. The 1st division in fact. And he was shell shocked, and tramatised by that war. Please, dont compare a videogame to this war. To a war so many died in. To a war that so many families were ruined by. its just not right.

Europe was civilized compared to??!! Really? True, pacific land battle was arduous and gruesome but if you think it was more brutal, you need to take a second look at the eastern front; It was much more grim.

Its an American show for an American audience. Its deals with the American Island hoping campaign, theres no reason other nations contribution needs to be shown. The British and australians dont make shows about the American WW2 experience. Personally, I'd like the BBC to do something with my money other than produce another costume soap for old ladies...

We'll fid out what you really are...and you'll pay for it....in a lack of sales. Shut up next time Tom.

If you mean its repetitive cause of the acting style. Just look deeper than that its about what the men did for us and now if you think about it most WW2 soldiers are dyin. Years pass over and over again and I think if we forget about them and what happened during the war even in WW1 and before that, we shouldn't call ourselves Americans, British, or any other people who fought against the enemies of freedom. We need to Always remember these soldiers and even the soldier in the most recent wars.

Both sides of this war american and japanese alike were ruthless. They had pure hatred for each other and didnt think of the other side as human beings. The pacific war was 10X worse than the european war. Where as the european has a certain romance about it. The pacific had none. Thats why hollywood steers clear usually

First of all Band Of Brothers is not repetative what-so-ever. Band Of Brothers is based on the true events of Easy Company of the 101st Airbourne Division during WW II, I am Canadian but personally I have respect for them. If you actually payed attention to the miniseries you would of caught the fact that none of the battles that Easy COY fought in were repetative! ( For all non-military oriented people "COY" is an abreviation for "Company".

in this mini-series it looks like it is focused on infantrymen. But i think it would be really cool if they implement an episode of a navy fighter pilot, then an episode of a navy battleship gunner.I believe that the pacific theater was about Naval battle and Air dogfights. Because without em battleships and carrier pushing the IJN, this infantry couldn't have made a landing possible.

Der Untergang (The Downfall), is a great German movie about the last days of Hitler in the Fuhrer-bunker in Berlin during the Soviet siege of the city. Although it is "about" Hitler in some sense, it also is about the persepctive of the German soldiers, officers, doctors, secretaries, civilians, and others during that time in Spring 1945.

@animalmother21: Point of view might make Stalingrad extraordinary but as a film, it's just mediocre (or even bad). I've seen it twice and it seems people only like it because of the point of view. Better example? Das Boot. One of the best war movies ever, too.
FormulaOneSpy 2 years ago
@animalmother21
there are plenty of movies, major wide release movies, about the Eastern Front. Enemy at the Gates comes to mind.
Americans don't make movies showing the German perspective because here in America we hate Nazis. We don't have a problem with looking at things from a foreign perspective - Inglourious Basterds, All Quiet on the Western Front, Dances With Wolves...
We just hate Nazis.
