    As a VFW POST 3386 Auxiliary member and past President, I'm all for teaching patriotism to youth. I was discussing with my grandson the true story of GI Joe . Together we watched the movie. He commented that he was very glad he learned the history , now he can carry on a conversation with veterans about GI JOE ! My grandson enjoys history , he's 11yrs old going into the 6th grade. He said he will share with his history teacher and classmates "The Real Story of GI JOE"!

    Excellent among all war flicks. This focuses on the characters and makes no attempt to glamorize the role of the G.I. or spin off jingoistic tropes. Mitchum is so good as the combat weary captain. Burgess Meredith most commendable. The perfume scene was brilliant.

    My uncle Lawrence died in Germany in WWII. Don't know when or where. When my Father heard of his brother's passing he was driving a supply truck and had a hard time keeping from running over prisoners being walked down the road. This is one of the best movies representing how bad war really is. Methods may have changed. But war I still war.

I've lost my uncle to 1965 India Pakistan War never saw em just heard war stories. Hr died in a land mine blast end of the war. Our family was devastated just like the ruins in wartime get blasted. But that is war complete insanity.
      Men kept of fighting surviving and dying after Africa Italy France Holland right uptil Germany. WWII was a costly war and brave men paid the price. In Band of brothers ending Capt Winters said i sont but do folks back home realise how many good men we have lost in this war just to free Europe from the paws of evil ie Nazi Germany.... Respects from India. Huge fan of WWII movies. Sadly you Americans havent tasted victory since Korea. God knows when will that time come?

    Very authentic. In so many small ways, this was real.
    From the way they wore their uniforms, to how they carried their rifles.
    So many veterans in the film industry by then, they didn't need to have an expert to tell them how to walk or march.
    The scene where they are crossing the river, and going down the embankment looked authentic.
    I felt I was there.
    I liked this film.
    BTW. Burgess Meredith gave his usual great performance.

    I love this movie though it brings me to tears every time. My father fought with Big Red One 16th Infantry anti tank North Africa , Tunisia, Sicily, Omaha Beach *Silver Star , to the Bulge. Didn't get to know him long passed away when I was almost 16. He didn't say much but he did say the true heroes never came home. When I think of all he and the others endured it almost breaks me. Originally from Northern Ireland he was proud to serve his country. Fond memories of him were his laugh, gentleness, good manners, love of his garden. I never heard my father swear in my life. And the simple things like a cup of coffee and a good hot meal he thoroughly enjoyed. He suffered much from the after effects of this war. How could he not have. God bless all of them from the greatest generation and all those serving Before and after ❤️🙏❤️

    Extremely well made movie loaded with the stark realism and tragedy of WWII and the realities of war in general. I was impressed with how well they integrated real combat footage within the film, to me it was better than todays hollywood special effects. I had three uncles in WWII but not one of them would ever talk to me about it as an adolescent. I didnt understand why then, but as I got older and learned the gravity of real combat I understood much better - God bless all those who went through situations so horrific and inhumane it left them scarred for life - and those were the ones lucky enough to come back.

    You all know this is a true story ...right? Its the story of Capt. Henry T. Waskow. Mitchum plays the part but the name is changed for some legality issues. Burgess Merideth plays the part of Ernie Pyle who was killed about a year or so later. Ernie Pyle writes a specific memoir to Henry and his death. The ending of this movie will leave some teary eyed, no matter how tuff you might be.

      Sorry to break it to you but that's not what happened. He was killed on Okinawa. Ie Shima island to be exact . He was with an officer on a hill just looking over the battlefield , when an enemy machine gunner started firing at the officer and Pyle. They both dove for cover . Pyle lifted he head and got popped in the head . That's all. He didn't die any heroic stuff or action, man. He was just a journalist that got killed by the machine gunner . I remember a tour I went on many years ago about the battle of Okinawa...on Okinawa and Pyle's story was mentioned .

    Seeing them ride on those deuce and halfs, takes me back I used to put my helmet (STEEL POT} over the top of my M1 Garand and wrapped my arms around it and slept, for miles rocking back and forth. I used every weapon they had except the Thompson which I never carried it was no longer used in the infantry when I served. 1958-1964 as far as C rations was concerned my favorite can was the lima beans and ham heated over my Sterno stove in my foxhole. once traded my fruit cocktail to a British soldier for his can of mutton, tasted pretty good.

    It is neat to see some of the old war films colourized. I remember a 50th D-Day anniversary edition of "The Longest Day," on VHS released in colour back around 1995. 50th being dated not from the film production in 1962, but the "D-Day invasion in 1944. It was released in 2 parts, and yet, has never been put on DVD in colour to this day. I say "colour, with the U, because its proper english spelling. The U was dropped by the Americans over the years. BTW this film here is based on a true story.

The allied war cemetery there stretches as far as the eye can see. A truly moving and tearful visit. Personally I just wished they've have bombed the sh*t out of the place for weeks and just bypassed it completely.
