    "You Don't Get Out Of Your Hole At Night." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene
    The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
    The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

    Under a full moon on Peleliu, Sledge is struggling to stay awake, but wakes up when he sees two men run into the camp. One jumps into a foxhole, and he hears the cries of a struggle. Sledge can't tell what's going on. The man jumps out of the foxhole, and another Marine shoots him. Cpl. R.V. Burgin asks what happened, and Sledge relates the story as best as he can. Burgin tells the men to stay alert.
    In the morning, Gunny chews them out, saying that this is the reason that you don't get out of your foxholes at night. Inside the foxhole is a dead Marine and dead Japanese soldier. The Marine is the one that has been shot through the head, and the man that shot him is crying uncontrollably. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)
    It’s not like Guadalcanal, where the soldiers didn’t know that it was going to be as bad as it was: while we were following the first group who arrived on that island, Eugene’s battalion was following the 1st Marines into the hills, and we saw Chesty emerging bandaged and broken at the episode’s opening. They knew what they were climbing into, and that only made things more harrowing. (Cultural Learnings)

      A man jumped INTO foxhole, there was a struggle, then somebody jumped OUT of foxhole and was shot by a Marine. Morning comes, a Marine and a Jap dead INSIDE foxhole, but you mentioned nothing about the man shot OUTSIDE the foxhole.

      I believe the Pacific Theatre was a lot more brutal and hell-like than the European one. Germans and Americans with fairly similar equipment and strategies (and even cultures/mindsets) were fighting on a quite even field. The Japanese had less value for life (honor in sacrificing yourself for the empire/emperor), which caused them to be more ruthless and going in for attacks they knew they wouldn't come back from - so that goes for both strategy and mindsets. And then the intense heat and lack of fresh water on the Pacific Islands made it even worse. I can't imagine how scary it must have been being attacked at night with a Banzai charge - nothing like that happened in Europe...

      I don't really blame either side. This was just a giant ball of unfortunate circumstance. The men were on edge and would have dropped anything that looked remotely human. As well as it being too dark to see shit.
      I also don't blame the guy standing up. It's like the commander said "We get tired, we get lazy, shit happens." People are human, we naturally make mistakes. He was probably tired, or needing to use the bathroom, or anything really. And he didn't realize the danger he was in, until it was too late.

      Eastern front was worse.
      In the Pacific, fighting was very hard, you couldn't expect each side to take prisonner, but at least there was some times between each operations.
      Eastern front was just one great operation after another, each side were almost as brutal with their own soldiers than with their enemy. Prisonner were sent to gulag for the russians, and to concentration camp for the germans when they arrived at all.
      Ultimately, most people died in the eastern front than in the US operation in the pacific.

      It was a counter-intuitive practice honestly. US troops were never really trained to fight at night, but it was especially a problem in the Pacific Theater. The nighttime hours were constantly ceded to the Japanese when really that was when they were most vulnerable. A lot of Japanese positions could have been reduced, a lot of Japanese attacks preemptively dispersed, and a lot of American lives saved with better night assault training.

      As an infantry veteran who served in Afghanistan, I really doubt this story. We never called the Taliban rebels. We never even called them hajis. Our bases are not easy to sneak out of. I’d argue it’s nearly impossible to do it without someone noticing. We have 24/7 watch with thermal and night vision optics. We also heavily positively identify our targets before we shoot.

    Was Peleliu necessary? Did it hold any strategic value? How would the campaign turn out had they ignore Peleliu and go straight to the Phillippines and Guadalcanal? Australia look like it could hold tens of thousands of aircraft, hundreds of vessels, a million troops for liberating PH and take Guadalcanal.

      @unwantedtryharding5394 Před měsícem +10

      The airfield on Pelelieu was the main objective. Stop the enemy from putting fighters and bombers in the air. Once it was secure, the US could use it to get their air forces closer to the enemy, making for faster turnaround times on bombing runs, as well as acting as an emergency landing zone for friendly aircraft in the area.
      Basically, aircraft carriers can be sunk; islands can’t.

After invasion, ruppertus that once in charge during invasion (after finish) sent back to mainland became commandant of marine training.. Which is later he died by heart attack.
    You see there, is gunny... Salted veteran from WWI and survive the cape gloucester and nearly get kill in peleliu... His morale drown to zero when he seen ack-ack K.I.A (there is a scene were gunny hit the boilin' point, cause the remaining marine also hit hard)...

Guy took a nap under a vehicle, and no one checked underneath before they drove off. Dude couldn't find a flashlight so used a lighter to check a vehicle leak. Dude got bite by a komodo dragoon or poisons snake. Guy cleans loaded gun, that one always end with someone shot. One of the silliest ones was a guy committed suicide was what they told the family. Family was hardcore catholic and wouldn't let it go, cant give him a church burial if a suicide. So finally, my dad had to tell them the truth. The jack a was beating his meat while chocking himself with a belt and accidentally died. Sometimes they died as a hero is the best thing to tell the family, instead of natural selection got your kid. Side note the military thought the suicide story would be an easier pill to swallow, boy were they wrong.

      The issue is that these people allow their emotions to get the better of them, thinking they'd be different or the hero. They don't understand that they live a life of safety and that the heroic movies of the Avengers and marvel have poisoned their minds into thinking that they're super heroes. A real marine follows orders. A real marine is focused. A real marine dosen't let fantasy cloud their judgments. A real marine is just as susceptible to bullets and explosives as the rest of us.
