They Filmed the War in Color: The Pacific War - Iwo Jima

Now Available on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HIVIQA/

This documentary includes rare color footage of the U.S. Marines in action in the Pacific during World War II. For years the world has watched films of World War II in black and white. Now for the first time, follow alongside those who experienced the war first hand in this remarkable and moving portrait revealing never-before-seen footage shot in full color. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched its attack on Pearl Harbor resulting in the United States being thrust full force into World War II -- turning it into a truly global conflict. American Marines and many of the great filmmakers of the day captured color footage of the events as they unfolded -- the Coral Sea in flames; Guadalcanal littered with corpses; rarely seen images of the deportation of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent and much more.

@AustinMontreal They would never have had to defend anything if they didnt bomb Pearl Harbor

@krichards816 you're*. if i were you, i would read your own comments from the point of view of someone else. it might make more sense for you that way, and help you understand why so few people seem to agree with you on anything.

[krichards816]

@NezbittheGreyKitten Oh, I''m done with you. If you can't get even the basic facts straight. your a moron. Really you are. Go back and ask your parents to send you to remedial English class. You failed reading comprehension. Basic reading comprehension. Little hint for you, when you want to "argue" a point, quote the original text. Don't just give your ignorant interpretation. Makes you look stupid. Now, go love yourself some more. I will not respond, child.

@NezbittheGreyKitten You seem to miss this one basic fact. I never wrote "I know what combat is like". I did not "act" like reading a book was like being in combat. I have seen my fair share of horror little kitten, but make no pretense that I have been in combat. I could tell you what I have seen and been in, but why waste the time. No, I don't like to have discourse with ignorant folks. I applaud your lack of basic reading comprehension. Impressive and consistent!

@krichards816 when did i get sucked into this debate of yours with another person? all i said was dont act like you know what combat is like. you really must love arguing...

[krichards816]

@NezbittheGreyKitten the American soldier based on the last few seconds of this clip, right? You didn't miss that tidbit... And he/she is saying "I" have attacked Iraq (he/she spelled irac) and Afghanistan? You didn't miss that, right? Again, you missed the point. Now I am done with you as well. Because to take that ONE point so far out of context is just...well...very high school of you. You missed the forest for the trees. Good job!

[krichards816]

@NezbittheGreyKitten As I am arguing for the VETS of WW2, your use of narcissistic would be a miss use. Nice try. I find it ironic that you are trying to point to me, the one defending theses hero's while not addressing the ignorant comments of the person I was arguing with. Interesting and telling. The point was (and I can't believe I am going to try and explain this) the book gives INSIGHT into the heroics of these men. You do know that "YAVALIOMX" is pointing out the overall weakness of...

@krichards816 what makes you think i missed the point? im just saying you sound narcissistic. until you've really been in combat, you cant talk like that. real veterans will hate you for it.
