"First Platoon Cleared It With Grenades." - 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.

The episode depicts Burgin, Sledge and Snafu taking cover near a Japanese bunker believed to be neutralized. As they begin to setup their mortar, Sledge heard voices inside. Burgin wrote in his memoir, Island of the Damned, "I bent to look into one of the slits and a face looked back at me. Before he could duck I stuck my M1 between the bars and got off two or three rounds... I couldn't tell how many were in there. But I knew there had to be a bunch."
The Japanese inside the bunker tossed out a grenade that wounded two. The rest of the squad kept the defenders inside while Burgin ran to the beach and summoned an Amtrak with a 75mm gun to blast the bunker. (Pacific Wrecks)

@@metalfotoI second that.
And Bill Leyden “Grenade!” Was Bill trying to shoot the grenade with his garand ?
That's funny because in the series an m4 Sherman rolled up
Why we can watch it free on t.v. lol all you people trying to get rich on social media. Ya get a job or starve
This was probably one of the darkest moments in the series. Especially once they start shooting the guys that were lit up by the flame thrower as they began running out of the bunker. The look on Sledge's face as he watched Snafu mag dumping into dead bodies and cursing them really showed how the reality war began to sank in for him.
I'm pretty sure that sunk in when he landed in Pelilu.
@@loyaljokster3371 he saw carnage, but he still didn't quite see how far humans decend into barbarism til that day. That's what i meant.
Beside the civilians on Okinawa I agree. Not to mention E.S. saved a hell of a lot of lives because if they would have passed that bunker they would have been torn up.
I think he felt responsible for it. He pointed out the bunker, and now was watching men burn alive because of it. It may have been necessary, but you’d still carry a hell of a lot of guilt for that.
@@JohnnyBGoode-xn9mo possibly but by this point he had seen why the Japanese were capable of. I think it was showing Sledge becoming more and more callous towards the Japanese. I think his internal struggle with the enemy and fighting fair was really starting to wane.
If you shoot a grenade, do it in VATS so you don't take the blast damage
I just started playing fallout nv, I'm getting tired of how often I see and understand the references now 😂
WHAT
@@sovietsnake2729 BOY
Almost 2k hours in New Vegas and I never knew you could do that
@@Kingj411 YOU NEVER KNEW YOU CAN USE VATS?
I read that Capt Haldane was going to recommend Burgen for a Silver Star, but was killed before he could write it up.
I think Burgin was one of the strongest castings in this, he legit looks younger than the guys he's commanding. I think in reality sledge was a year younger, 19 as opposed to 20, but it really helps drive home they were just kids thrown into this life and death situation.
@@raymondfrederick Well if it makes you feel better they were probably all enshrined.
I heard R.V. Burgin say it himself. The only weakness that Mr. Burgin found in the guy they cast to play him was that he was too short. And he also said that no one in his life had ever called him “Burgie”
I remember I met a WW2 vet who said something like this happened even though they threw 2 grenade he just had this strange feeling. I hen he told his CO in the unit he waved in thier flame trooper who fired it in, said he could hear them scream . Seem inside the bunker there were places they could hide from explosions but not fire
Most bunkers were specifically designed with countermeasures against exactly that - when there's a grenade-sized hole, you assume that someone's going to stick a grenade in there.
Even just a trench or pit sunk into the floor of the bunker would be enough to render a grenade almost entirely ineffective.
Some bunkers even had vents designed with branching channels - air can pass right through, but a grenade will drop down... And come back out at your own feet!
@@Arclite02 yeah I’ve seen a few of those crazy what we as a spieces can come up with.
Well the scary thing about fire is that you don’t even have to hit the people inside an enclosure with it. Just get enough burning to pull the oxygen out of the air and smoke up what’s left.
The more cover they’re in, typically the less air flow they’ll have, and the more they’ll be affected by it.
So you're saying that the features of the place that kept them safe from grenades (at least), *is the very thing that kills them* when fire is involved
@@jehoiakimelidoronila5450 It's more that you can contain the split-second grenade blast fairly easily with some sensible engineering, but there's really no way to counter something that just fills the room with fire, without sealing the bunker off from the outside world...
Which is fundamentally incompatible with the very purpose of a defensive fortification - shooting at enemies outside the bunker!
When I was a young Marine infantryman, the thing he did with the grenade was one of those things you're taught unofficially for urban combat.
Its unofficial because it's dangerous and you have a grenade with a burning fuse in your hand, but its important because you milk the time the enemy would have to throw it back. So it's referred to as "milking" the grenade.
This was used in Iraq but they also taught us to throw it into a room underhanded as hard as possible up towards the ceiling. The theory being that the fuse is burning as the grenade is high rather than rolling on the floor. You throw it hard so it bounces around and anyone wanting to throw it back would have to chase it around for a couple seconds before it blows up in their face/hands. This is the "official' way when it comes to an urban environment.
Not that I'm some expert. I only did the four years as a rifleman.
Anyway, Semper Fi.
It didn't look like he was cooking it off so much as lining up to get it square in the hole without it catching the lip. That and getting the spoon fully free before it goes down the pipe.
Bravo...
@@jmackmcneill part of me thinks that's a mortarman thing, to line up the ordinance with the tube. part of me thinks that guy was indeed cooking the frag for a second...idk but both are plausaible
Fuckin hell that must be the scariest shit.
A grenade bouncing all over the place, and you're frantically swiping trying to grab it before it blows you and your boys apart.
Rah
"Fire in the hole 🕳 " never gets old😂
Actually, it does. It's not even military terminology.
@@realhorrorshow8547 they would scream for grenade still checks out
@@realhorrorshow8547 I didn't know this at first and assumed it was some kind of combat engineer things. It's originally from American coal mining.
@@realhorrorshow8547 it was never military terminology to begin with 🙂
@@realhorrorshow8547marines said that in ww2 what you talking about. It’s in sledges book
the grenade dropped in the ditch. he could've not get blown up if he just laid down. but i guess he panicked which is a valid excuse
Totally understandable reaction
Yeah he kind of froze up, which is a huge possibility for anyone. Fight, flight, freeze. We don't always get to decide which one.
@@Dead_Again1313 or you can train it away..
@@fidjeenjanrjsnsfhNo, you can’t. It’s a knee-jerk, parasympathetic nervous system reaction that is your brain reacting on survival impulses. You can’t train a reaction to a variable like that during a massive stress and anxiety-inducing situation like a Guerrilla warfare firefight
@@sprtsfanatic1exactly. It's a part of our most basic instincts, one of the things that majorly helped us when we couldn't even write, part of our lizard brain. It'd be like attempting to train away your instinct to eat
Great depiction of the horror these poor guys faced on a regular basis! This was before PTSD was a recognized disorder.
No surprise so many of the survivors had addictions and severe depression!
It started being noticed back in the Napoleonic eras but it was just dismissed as “something soldiers got” it wasn’t until the First World War when it was really noticed being a war on a scale never before seen, but even then it was dismissed as “shell shock” or even “cowardice”,
PSTD wasn’t really recognised until Vietnam and Korea, it wasn’t also as prevalent from WW2 since there was more time to come to terms with that they had seen and done while surrounded with men who had done the same.
I agree with you but it’s a strange comment under a clip that shows likely 5-6 Japanese soldiers dying and one American… the poor guys here clearly aren’t the marines…
It was recognized. It was just called something different without the soft language. First, it was shell shock. Then it was combat fatigue. Now it's post-traumatic stress disorder. Same thing different names. The language just got softer.
I've read that after the US Civil War it was called "Soldiers Heart." I'm sure it has always afflicted soldiers down through history. In the age of swords and spears when combat was close and personal it must have been intense.
@bingobongo1615 "the poor guys" depends on whose side your on. The losing side is both.
The guy couldn’t run away just keep staring at the grenade yelling grenade
Looks like he was overwhelmed by the situation and couldn't think of that. His first reaction was to warn his fellow marines while he suppressed the japs, before he ran out of time to do anything else.
Yes
Shock and fear will do that to ya
Yeah I mean it’s called shock, fear, as someone else said. It’s a bomb that gets thrown at your feet and you realize that in a split second. His obvious reaction was to fire off a shot at it even though clearly that wouldn’t be much help.
It's called a cognitive blink
R.V. Burgins book "Islands of the Damned" is a fantastic read.
The problem with these bunkers is that the japanese had many tunnels. If you killed the crew inside the bunker, Another batch of japanese could react occupy it from the tunnels.
I'm Sledges book this encounter happend a bit differently.
After Burgie fired his carbine into the slit, Sledge was asked to check the entrance. He peeked over to see a Jap with a nambu MG pointed right at his face and he dropped before he got his head taken off.
Snafu and Sledge end up in an argument over if the jap actually had a machine gun, while the rest of the squad looked for an opening in the bunker.
They finally found a porthole that wasnt gated and spammed all their frags into it. Dispite this they could still hear japs inside, and called up an AMTRAC with a 75mm to blow a hole in the bunker, and a flamethrower to fire the hole.
7 of them tried to make a run for it, but got sprayed down by carbine and machinegun fire from the AMTRAC. 10 of them found in the bunker after they cleared it.
It turned out the bunker had been segmented into several seperate fighting compartments, seperated by concrete walls.
There is alot I'm leaving out from this encounter but Sledge re-counts it well.
At some point during the fight, they see a couple Arasaka rifle with bayonts afixed sticking out of some portholes, Burgie took the butt of his rifle and swiped them away.
Sledge ends up taking out an enemy with his carbine at close range. He accounts how it was the first real time he killed a man, to see their eyes as he fired his weapon.
If the Pacific didn’t have that stupid, love interest storyline, it would be regarded just as highly as band of Brothers.
I’m convinced the jumping around hurt them. If they had split it into two, and followed Basilone for the Solomons, and then introduced Sledge for the second half, it would’ve gone better. I get that they were trying to fill the years between with Leckie’s stories, but I had to watch it two or three times before I felt like I knew the characters.
@@garreTTU2023 "Before I felt like I knew the characters" is the perfect way to put it.
I was most invested in Sledge's squad on my first watch. But the rest clicked after a couple watches, as you mentioned.
I don't know, I think Band of Brothers just had more heart. The Pacific was a little more about how everything is horrible and awful constantly. BoB had that, but there was a lot more about the relationships between the men and the camaraderie and heroism in Easy Company. Meanwhile the Pacific also didn't feel like it took the time to really develop most of it's characters, outside of the main 3, Remi Malek, and the Australian Lady I honestly don't even remember a single character in the whole story because they were all so forgettable and to some extent interchangeable - though to be fair it has also been some years since I last watched it.
You might be correct, but its an intrinsic aspect of many soldiers experience, to have a woman waiting at home.
I think BOB was more popular cause it came out when 9/11 happened which probably sparked a huge patriotic reaction and most things tha do anything with the military
He shoulduv hit the deck and not backed up he’d still have a face left… oooof 😮😅
I was in the marines from 2008-2012 so this came out at the perfect time for me. But it just never compared to Band of Brothers for some reason. I still watch BoB. I haven’t rewatched this.
Did he just shoot the grenade
He panicked big time.
I think because he was panic
He was sure trying to
i think he was trying to suppress the bunker entrance where the Japanese soldier who threw the grenade came out of.
No he was shooting at the japanese soldiers or the entrance of the bunker
Panic bit that guy's ass
"Gene!!! Gene!!!" As ya boy realises he's blind is fuckin rough
what, a grenade that didn't give off a megaton explosion? how did this make it through the networks...
That guy was the kid in Jurassic park
R.V. Burgin was a hell of a leader by all accounts
Always do your due diligence. How did the first platoon not clear that or double check
They had trenches so u could quadruple check and they will be at another local and flank u when u think the Aoe has been secured
@@Ghostfury2004 the japs?
Yeah. The Zips simply came back
@@daviswhite3591 damn bastards. Used Vietnam tactics that's why fighting a war of attrition is hard
Actually this was before vietnam, after losing tarawa the japanese empire decided to change tactics. Instead of banzai charges they would concentrate on defense in depth, building bunkers, at emplacements and artillery in caves on mountains, connected eith a tunnel system. It's very similar to what was done in vietnam but yet different since it was still a conventional war.
If someone tells you to go check a bunker, you should say "after you!"
Damn! I gotta get my Pacific blu-ray set out and watch it again.
It is common for pillboxes like these to jave their vents made in such a way that when you drop a grenade in it rolls out at your buddies feet, or to go to an empty chamber
The way they were described in R.V. Burgin’s account (the Corporal in the scen) the pillbox had small rooms walled away from eachother to prevent fragments or the blast radius from traveling. This pillbox in particular housed somewhere between 12-16 troops. After dropping several grenades through the ventilation shaft they were still shooting back and threw grenades at the squad.
I can honestly say that this was probably the most gripping of the titles it left little to the imagination and it favoured neither side often leaving the viewer with a dry mouth and cold sweats
Don't yell "grenade" and stand there. Its called get tf down.
Bro yells grenade doesn't try to run but he tries to shoot the grenade then jus takes the full blast LOL
It's really easy to laugh at things because so many of us have only fired a gun for fun, or the closest to war we've gotten is on CoD.
The reality mate, is sometimes you freeze. Your brain just locks up finding a solution.
In this case, the person you're laughing at, probably really did this, due to the nature of the Pacific. He was probably exhausted because he's been in country for multiple days. Hell, he may have seen that as a ticket out.
Whoever he was, RIP homie. Ty for being brave enough to get that far. I hope you got home and had some joy
Edit: It's 2024, if alive that guy would be over 100. I hope you got home and had some joy was my hope, but he can't still be alive, so RIP
@@anthonygreen127guy lived in pretty sure survived the war
@@mikeferguson1833 Probably not alive now, so RIP.
@@anthonygreen127 He survived
kids today won't understand. The media has soften their minds.
I've read about Burgin and Sledge and Snafu in the Book Voices Of The Pacific
How did 1st platoon not check if the bunker was empty?
Alot of the bunkers connected to tunnels so odds are they cleared it and the tunnel wasn't collapsed so they just crawled back in there afterwards
Heart wrenching to watch that grenade go off
Sledge saving everyone from an ambush!
Sees grenade… continues standing
"Listen." How TF could they hear anything?
“Fry ‘em, Womack!”
One of the best lines in the show
This short actually cuts out a subtle scene. When he says I'm sure it was in response to his co telling him to pull his head in. Telling him he didn't believe him. His conviction saved his friends.
Again proving CZcams shorts are the asshole of CZcams and the people who upload them are dummies.
There is a one-minute time limit. He can't upload anything longer than that.
Attention span of Gen Z. We are doomed.
I’m sorry all I can think of is welcome to Jurassic Park. This kid is as typecast as Al Bundy was.
Say man. Is that the kid from Jurassic park???
Yup.
Always makes me uncomfortable the way he throws the grenade down the pipe lol. Would be so easy to miss that way when he could just drop it.
That sounded 1:1 like the US voice in BF1942, "Fire in the hole!!!" 💣🕳️
BEST WAR SERIES MADE
Love this movie series. My dad has the whole case of like 10 discs💯💯
Great show
“GRENADE” continues to just fucking stand there
SNAFU's eyes.
Makes me wonder if said marines who "cleared" that bunker got the troubles
Thats why you double and triple check
Why did bro try to trickshot the grenade
Stands and shoots the grenade instead of jumping
War fatigue and panic will do that to ya
Just watched this mini series
If he would have followed his training and hit the deck you probably would have been okay.
Imagine being some 18-19 year old kid just wanting to do their part and defend your country, only to witness your buddies get killed, watch other men get set on fire, or throw themselves at you with a sword so they could die “honorably”. I couldn’t imagine what that does to a person. True heroes.
Bergan got a metal dor this in rl. Ypu guys should read sledges book its really good.
Why would you shoot a grenade? 🤦♂️
That was clever use dropping the grenade down the air hole. It probably got quite a few of em' as grenades excel in bunkers.
Not sure about the bunkers here, but other ones in the European fronts had false air vents, it looked the same, but it would drop the grenade near the soldier that dropped it in.
use the helmet to cover the granade
Lol no!
Not sure why he didn’t DUCK!
"Fire in the hole" wasn't in the language in WW2.
Yes it was! Cod 2 and waw told me so!
❤❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😅
❤❤❤❤BABOR....
One of the best action sequences in all of filmmaking…hands down.
Wow. The US Matine combated the IJN marine.
It was Imperial Japanese Army 14th Infantry Division.
Grenate first 😂 Cod rule
Haven't seen it yet lm sure it's good just haven't had the chance
Its well worth purchasing
The thing about ww2 axis bunker designs is that they had lots of false entries designed to self harm the attackers...any air pipe you think youre dropping a grenade into so easily/obviously usually had that same grenade dump out at your feet. The real pipes/vents were much more difficult to access.
NANI KORE!?
👍
Did that guy try and shoot the grenade????
He was exhausted and panicked. There are three reactions, fight, flight, and freeze. Based on what we saw, he picked the third one
LOL no one cooks a grenade for that long.
It was a split second. Didn't seem that long.
We gonna re-enact this, fellas! IRL!
Contrary to popular belief, shouting "Grenade!" at a live grenade will not stop it from grenading. Loved this scene though
For me Band of Brothers was much better. Both movies show the horrors of war and what are brave troops faced daily! The Greatest Generation!!
Greatest generation? They lost the war by bring nazis to America and giving them government jobs. The shitshow you find yourself in today is due in no small part to the 4th reich. Go listen to our last duley elected president, jfk and his "president and the press" speech.
Yeah bro you should totally slowly back away and keep yelling grenade instead of dive away, over the ridge of that very solid concrete edge. Bro failed the quick time event.
Fight, flight, and freeze. He was exhausted, had been through shit, and had heavy equipment. You think he got the energy left to do so?
I've seen people overacting this the first underacting
Sees a grenade and points his gun at it instead of running, yep definitely an American
And you'd probably just sit and stare blankly at it 😂
If you want to have a big mouth next time please understand that in real life combat soldiers are panicking and you would probably do the same
What did the Chinese soldier say before he died im curious
Japanese.
He said something about reloading and how the Americans are outside
Ww2 was fought vs Japan/Germany/Italy a bit not china 💀
"Bang ding ow."
"I didn't ask for your funny name chinaman."
@@Magnetcrossthere were some Chinese units on those islands just like how the Soviets and Germans had units from countries they occupied
