RIP Gunny Basilone. The Few, The Proud... but none like him.

lol pwned

[SuperPackerBOY]

Don't forget the other soldiers to...some were not even recognized, or found after this battle.

[07foxmulder]

"you tell that tank to follow me"! it's amazing he was able to move that fast with balls that big. 

[anewell41]

The part where the Marine trips over him is on purpose. It symbolizes that Basilon is dead. And when the camera zooms out it shows how although he earned the medel of honor he is still just a regular soldier along with his comrades. And I think he always wanted to die with his men. Instead of dying old

[daddyfatsack81]

this landing scene is the only one to rivial the normandy landing in saving private ryan!!!! jonh basilone is a bad ass mother fucker......

[nthnb123]

@Rigmored look carefully at 4:16 you can see the guy that "tripped" was actually shot look at his back

[Rigmored]

@nthnb123 Still a bad trip.

[Rigmored]

@Transformers2themax I was disappointed by how much it detracts from the actual memoirs for the sake of entertainment.

Moron Japs

[SMTcopper]

man.... the japs beated them hard... and nth they can do about it.. .

[toughtony0914]

its upsetting when his arm lifts out of the dirt and you see his wedding ring

[EmperorLolzors]

@toughtony0914 Reminds you of how he had a wife and something to go back home to. But he left his wife, fame and money to fight.

[BRONCOWEN]

Faggot with your video editing.

[ZorrroUK]

does the guy who trips over him pretend to be dead?

[Rigmored]

@ZorrroUK Yes, they are all actors.

[ZorrroUK]

@Rigmored no but as the character fell did he stay there to not get shot?

[Rigmored]

@ZorrroUK I think it's probably bad acting/tripping skills.

[TheCharlesis]

@Rigmored LOL XD

[toughtony0914]

@ZorrroUK you can also see after he falls theres a bullet hole in his back

[ZorrroUK]

@toughtony0914 oh cool, thanks :P

[Mugen123456789]

@ZorrroUK He was shot if you look at his back there's an exist wound.

[toughtony0914]

@ZorrroUK you can see a bullet wound in his back after he falls

[Sergeant1990]

How the F*ck does he get al the dirt out of his face?

[Rigmored]

@Sergeant1990 Magic ofc.

[masterchieffan20]

John basilone didnt actually die from a gunshot wound. He got hit with shrapnel from jap morter/artillery. I believed he died almost instantly

[wordypinoy808]

@masterchieffan20 Yes, your correct about the shrapnel but it was to the chest. He was uncontious for 30 minutes butthen bled out after

[toughtony0914]

whoever shot him got him in the rite spot rite throgh the lung and in the heart

[Rigmored]

@toughtony0914 Supposedly it's shrapnel, but the The Pacific is ambiguous.

[sargentkev99]

i wonder how they get the bullet holes

[SuperPackerBOY]

Man I almost want to cry.

[SuperPackerBOY]

why you put that song on.

[Trekiefreak777]

This is unfitting music.

[RobSanchez89]

I think you captured this moment pretty well.

What's the song? Sounds hauntingly familiar...

[Rigmored]

@RobSanchez89 Chi mai

[kamakazii131]

The drum break really fit the slow mo scene

[Warfrae]

does that song actual play

[Rigmored]

@Warfrae No

[Warfrae]

@Rigmored shame the really fit

[Warfrae]

man love this show

As General Patton once said: "We should not mourn those men who died, but we should be thankful that such men lived."
