@kamakazi423 Nope, not at all. I'm quite disappointed in it. Watching Band of Brothers felt like you were a part of Easy Company where watching The Pacific feels like a movie.

@alexroxhissox Because they were landing in France. That's across the channel that is called the English Channel, It's alot more closer then the US. if they took off at the states they would've made it because they would've ran out of fuel and dropped into the ocean.

i haven't seen this series so this question is not as stupid as it seems, but from youtube it looks like this company's training and deployment was done from england, why is this? is it for the terrain, or what?

@prorobo I loved the pacific, Band of brothers is better but i seen it 15 times now so The pacific is great to have as a new movie
