  • Thanks for uploading! These clips and documenties have to stay alive on youtube for ever! To learn from the War, and respect these men and honour them!

  • Marines rule

    

  • Borrowed the book from my local library, one of the best war accounts I have ever read.

  • @miatuneaphish Just finished it an hour ago and agree with 100% - turning the book over to my 20 year old son.

  • I just read Mr Sledge's book "With The Old Breed" and would like to take this moment to respectfully salute him and ALL of his 'Brothers In Arms' - the words to express my respect and admiration for these men do not exist, so I'll just offer a humble 'thank you' . . .

  • It has been a while since I read Mr Sledge's book. I think he describes the "Old Breed" as the pre-WW2 professional Marines that were heavily allocated to the 1st Marine Division.  He was not a member of the "Old Breed," which is why he titled the book "With the Old Breed..."

  • Via Con Dios Sledgehammer! Long Live The USMC!!!

  • cant believe the disrespect of any veteran who took part in beating the japanese...aussie, american, british, or new zealander all deserve gratitude, thanks and rememberence and thank God we all won.

  • @Flamstop Such comments are disrespectful of this man, and of all men who stood against that tyranny, many doing so at the cost of their sanity or their very lives. I mean, out of the original 240+ men in Sledge's Company, not even a dozen made it through the hell they faced..

  • @LukasM42 Well, any bastard who says that clearly doesn't know what he is talking about mate. Aussies,Kiwis and Brits etc certainly did play their part but it was American superiority in men and material which broke the back, and flattened the japs. Anyone who says otherwise is talking through their arse!
