"We're Gonna Have To Root 'Em Out One By One." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #ww2
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.

A Sherman tank rolls up, and someone yells to Sledge to get Leyden away from the bunker. Sledge pulls his friend as clear as he can, then leans over him to protect him as the Sherman fires a round into the bunker. Japanese soldiers are firing at the Marines, and one comes out of the bunker and draws down on Sledge. The man shoots and misses, then his rifle jams. He draws his sword and charges. Sledge panics, but gets his rifle into action at the last possible moment and blasts a hole in the man at almost contact distance. The Japanese soldier slumps onto Sledge's rifle, then falls down nearly on top of him. Sledge stares into the man's eyes as the life drains out of them. As the temporarily blinded Leyden yells Sledge's first name (panicking that Sledge may have been wounded or killed), Sledge turns, shocked, and sees what his fellow Marines are doing.
A flamethrower unit has come in and is lighting up the bunker. Japanese soldiers scream as they come out, and the Marines shoot them. Snafu screams for them to die as he empties his submachine gun into one of them. When the battle ceases, Sledge asks Burgin why they don't just surrender. "Because they're Japs," is all Burgin offers for an answer. "That's why we have to root them out one by one." He claps Sledge on his shoulder and continues makes his rounds. Snafu finds a Japanese flag and claims it as a souvenir. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

The guy calling out "Gene?" after he hears the gunshot thinking his pal is dead is heartbreaking
I know the uncertainty of not knowing who’s winning the fight is tough to hear
I think this series more than Band of Brothers shows the brutality of war and degradation of a soldier's psyche when put into these kinds of conditions.
*These were marines son... get it right!!!*
Sorry about that and I'm just joking of course. Our soldiers and marines both fought with distinction and it gets tiresome seeing the childish name calling on CZcams videos. And great comment by the way
I couldn’t agree more.
@@donarthiazi2443 Soldiers they may not be.
But they all suffer just the same
It seems more brutal because I think the battles against the Japanese were worse than the ones against the Germans. The US soldiers were practically experiencing two completely different wars .
@@JamesJohnsonQ More US infantrymen were killed per capita in Europe than in the Pacific, so "worse" is not the best way to describe it. Though warfare against the Japanese was certainly more barbarous.
One thing i think they absolutely nailed was the settings. Peleliu in particular, the island itself looks absolutely harrowing from the get-go. The smoking shoreline with the burnt trees, the vast killzone of the airfield to the hellish landscape that was the hills with its jagged sharp rocks that look unnatural
They nailed the details with their first firefight on the beach as well, according to Leckie's book. That bit about executing the one guy in the river with his pistol was Hollywood fluff.
Wish we got more episodes depicting Okinawa.
I read that the heat and humidity were hellish.
A lot the series was filmed a few hours from me in Australia.
@@a-stranger-passing-thruconsidering the drums used for water had previously been used for oil and hadn't been effectively cleaned, it was even worse.
One of the Japanese solider was screaming "Mom" but they cut it out
Damn!
They don't want us to feel pity for those filthy ja-...
I don’t know why, but the guy screaming “fuckin die!” just stuck in my head. Such an intense and epic show.
Pretty much the same shared thing war after war.
Even in Nam that was said and a whole lot more that can't be put to print here as it would offend some weak persons.
Then he went on to play a bond villain, funny to see this is where he got his start
Womak, what a beast with the zippo!! Not many zippo men survived, couldnt imagine running into combat with liquid fuel on my back.
I honestly also couldn't imagine I could run WITH men wearing a pressurized gas can on their back in a bullet filled environment! Steel balls they had.
Flame throwers don't blow up when shot since there's no oxygen in the fuel tank, they'll still leak of course, but there won't be some huge explosion
This is also Hollywood fluff thanks to movies like Saving Private Ryan. While it was extremely dangerous being the guy with the flamethrower, there would be no ignition event if a bullet penetrated the tank. Your biggest danger was having to traverse well into machine gun and rifle range to even do your job.
Seabees invented the flamethrower tank. As in Sherman tank...
Yeah... You have to get up close and personal with a weapon in your hand that makes you the instant priority target for the entire enemy line. That only works out well if they're already suppressed. It's a niche weapon, which is why it's no longer used.
A similar moment takes place during this sequence in Sledge's book, when a Japanese soldier emerges from a hole blown in the side of the bunker with a grenade in his hand, and Sledge would instinctively shoot him dead with his M1 Carbine.
Sledge makes specific note of this moment as it was the first time he had ever killed in close quarters, rather than simply firing on believed enemy positions with his mortar. While not as cinematic as in the show, it still represented a turning point in the war for him, with him becoming only increasingly desensitized to the fighting from then on.
Imagine a japanese soldier charging you with a katana in his hand. Them boys really went through hell
It was probly bc they were in a rush to make the scene more chaotic and quick like real close quarter combat but he was holding the sword with blunt side facing them when he pulled it, I didn't notice till the second time I watched this
As a Marine, I have a "bias" toward The Pacific over BoB. The war against the Japanese was on another level of savage from Europe.
Wouldn't really say that. They western front maybe. But some parts of the eastern front were absolute hell on earth. Stalingrad, where the soviets fought as fanatically as the Japanese. Belarus that got 1/3 of their population wiped out due to the german burning thousands of villages and all killing their inhabitants. Or Galicia and Volhynia, where the UPA wiped out around 120k Poles. Often using just farm equipment in their raids, they would flay, disembowel, dismember, impale and burn alive their victims. Children were hacked to pieces with axes or impaled on pitchforks. Babies bashed against trees. Women were gangraped and got their breasts cut off and let to bleed out. The same stuff was carried out by the Ustashe in Croatia.
I don't dare to say that the pacific wasn't horrifically brutal. But some parts of europe were too.
@@ZERO-hy3gti think he is talking about from the western allied perspective. As an american grunt fighting the war pacific front was another level of nightmare compared to western front even tho more american died on western front.
@@ZERO-hy3gt I should have been more specific. I meant from the Western European perspective.
I realize that now.
Before watching these shorts, I had no idea…
@@EmpireofSpeedNY Oh ok, fair enough. I should've figured that out
Started getting pacific clips couple days ago and i knows this one would pop up eventually. One of the most metal parts in the series.
Dad served in the 2nd Marines in the Pacific during WW II. Among things that haunted him for many years afterwards was when a guy was coming at him with a sword and dad kept shooting him yelling "die you yellow monkey". it took him many years for him to talk to me about it. Even then he made me promise never to tell the women in our family.
There is nothing positive about the Pacific. Except these guys helped end the war .
I retired at age 54, and I now live in Mindanao. I will take a trip over to Peleliu in a few years.
One of the most memorable parts of the book and obviously a moment Sledge looks back on with pride. Even though he was basically a rookie he noticed that the Marines in front of them had bypassed an active pillbox.
Screaming is the second loudest thing the flamethrower guy is doing
Ik Band of Brothers is considered the better of the two shows and I do agree with that sentiment but the pacific was still a top tier show
I liked the pacific a little more than band of brothers. Both series are amazing in their own ways.
@@VEXG32 bold but respectable take
00:20 - 00:22
Now... these are moments the survivor never, ever forgets.
"YAHHHHHHHHH!"
- Womack
The algorithm has decided that we all watch BoB, The Pacific, and Generation Kill now. I'm not complaining.
I wonder if Sledge kept that sword in real life?
The " real" places we've been...are engraved in our memories....
It is up to us, to try, to share , so that our children, and our GRAND children, can know....never again.
God Bless all of our Men and Women who went through absolute Hell to keep us free and save our great nation. The kids today should be shown these scenes and the horrors of war and know that they’re free today, because of these brave peoples ultimate sacrifices. When that sinks in, they shouldn’t be so easy to dismiss and take their freedom for granted as they do today.
when death stares at you in the face all a man can do is stare back 👀
I wish America kept that attitude up when it came for the war crime trials. Innumerable Japanese war criminals were never prosecuted. And unlike Germany’s de-nazification, the same japanese war criminals that completely raped & pillaged Southeast Asia were allowed to stay in power/participate in government.
Japanese war criminals being allowed to stay in power, and Asian attitude towards loving/supporting their parents,was extremely detrimental.
The aforementioned reasons has resulted in a Japanese populace that not only refuses to acknowledge war crimes committed by Japan, but they also actively try to erase/revise history. They view themselves as victims, and deny committing war crimes.
Shinzo Abe tried to apologize for the war crimes, but he had to recant his statement because the rest of Japan (including everyday citizens) were furious over the fact Abe strayed from the “Japan was the biggest victim of WWII” mentality.
When a California city (I believe San Francisco), unveiled a sculpture meant to honor the southeast Asian child sex slaves forced to be gangraped in Japanese brothels, Japan withdrew their embassy from the city. The sculpture showed an under 10yr old Chinese, Korean, and Filipina little girls holding hands),
To be fair, a good chunk of Nazi War Criminals never went to trial either.
But germany has taken the blame, grown up into a thriving democracy and accepts the blame for what happened while Japan plays the victim card. They're lucky the US didn't turn the entire peninsula into a shattered, radioactive hellscape
Bobe Leckie is my favourite character form the show.
Wars hell. Men do whatever they must to survive and protect their brothers in arms. The enemy is nothing more than a threat during combat and must be dealt with in any manner necessary.
Cotton hill is running around there somewhere, racking up the kills.
Fiddy men 😂
This show is so good
Noone will ever know what the heroes of ww2 went through. Even the stories dont come close to conveying the hell they went through
My Dad was 16 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He joined the Navy at 17 and was at Iwo Jima, Ie Shima, and Okinawa. I once asked him if the war had any effect on him. He sort of paused and then quietly said "no." But my mom was standing in the next room and I could see her shaking her head. A few minutes later he went outside to do something and she told me that for the first ten years that they were married, at times, in the middle of the night, his body would literally convulse so violently that she feared he would fall out bed. But he never woke up, and he never seemed to be aware that it happened. Eventually it stopped, but I think it's fairly clear he had been deeply traumatized by something during that war.
Bro screamrd like a black ops II zombie💀👍
Japan: Land of the Rising Sun
USA: Land of the Setting Sun
Both are on opposite ends and so very much alike. Both will never get up. That's the point.
This series is the reason i enlisted in the Marines
Very very well done
You want to die doing close combat?
@@CatEnthusiast-gr3cv yes.
Semper Fi
Ain't war hell?
The thing is different cultures. It's not like the European Front, Asia/Pacific Front is more ruthless, despite being the underdog.
Remember pulling out your side katana is always... Oh wait 💀
This is the shit Red from That 70s Show experienced
I thought Red was in the Navy.
Notice the Japanese with the sword (which I assume is an officer, since only officers have swords) held his sword the wrong way. I. E. : the curve is forward. Just goes to show how frantic it is on the battlefield especially if you panicked
As everyone problem knew the Japanese would literally rather commit suicide than to surrender
They saw it as a shameful act
Truly sad
They got Chuck Norris as the flamethrower guy? DAMN!
30 cal. FMJ= complete pass through. Hell yes!!
That japanese soldier literally had a death stare.
Gun jams so you switch to a sword badass
W czasie wojny nikt nie jest panem swego czasu.
Swords coming home with me!😉 That literally happened to a gun in my gun club when he was in the Pacific however there were two of them charging him as he help his friend. He said the M1 Garand beats the sword every time
The ugly war. So ugly and brutal that this mini series didnt get the credit it deserved
That soldier died for Hirohito.
Wenn die Japaner die gleiche Menge Material wie die Amis gehabt hätten, dann gäbe es heute keine Amis im Pazifik....
"Why don't they just surrender" my brother in Christ you killed the surrendering ones
War is Bad...😩😩😩
I was on Irak but I have full respect for this guy's, when I watch this series I learn that we have a easy war compared to them I know this will sound stupid but we was really lucky , by the way we should never invade that country
Yes, it’s very productive in the heat of battle to sit and do nothing when every second counts.
Nice souvenir ⚔
Severe, and life-long mental trama
@@irohaboat
Nah, these men were lions.
Predators... not prey. No PTSD here
@@donarthiazi2443Insecure men like you talking on behalf of actual men who went through hell is always funny to see
Can you imagine if you would’ve had to go to the whole country of tJapan putting up with those kind of crap fight into the death burning out caves the Japanese military had a phrase 20 million will die as one?
The US had ordered 1 million purple heart badges for this invasion .
no way
Gene has quite white teeth for a war zone
Good
BUNZI!!! 🗿🇯🇵🫡
This never gets close 2 bob quality. Sad 2 say
I prefer the Pacific over BoB. People like BoB because it tells a coherent narrative that follows one group of guys from start to finish. It also ends in a somewhat happy note with the guys spending the last episode in the Alps basically just hanging out.
The Pacific is a less cohesive narrative, because it's trying to capture the raw emotion and experience of what it was like to fight in the Pacific. It doesn't have as cohesive a narrative because none of the protagonists were in the same unit, apart from all being in 1st MarDiv. It also has a downer ending because it goes on to show Leckie's family problems, John Basilone's grieving wife, and Eugene's PTSD.
So yeah, it's easier to like BoB. But for raw unfiltered depictions of war, the Pacific is king.
...and THAT is why we had to drop the bomb.
I've got no sympathy for the Japanese during WW2
Wait why he use flamethrower to clear trench? Isnt grenade is more effective?
They threw a grenade, and a Sherman shot at the bunker, flamethrower is much more effective but here it's more of a nail on the coffin to whoever's still alive in there
Hope the CCP watches this
You have rainbow soldiers
And COD players 😅
@@maks3311 "rainbow soldiers and COD players" yet the USA is still the number one major superpower
Maybe 30 years ago
@@maks3311
And China has exactly fuck and all combat experience and naval invasion experience.
America has been doing expeditionary warfare for decades, China hasn't.
Did that guy take out his sword the wrong way?
Yes. A normal person would not know how to flip a katana in one motion or the fact that the sword to supposed to be kept upside down
👍
Really sad this is the current state with Ukraine and their Russian occupiers today.
Yeah the Russians just need to leave
❤
I have a wakasashi, In a flag carried by a japanese into one of those charges.
My brother used to have I think it was four katanas
He later sold them to a guy who was in the navy and lost the ones he had traded for.
The difference between this is that, My dad bought the ones, my brother The swords that he owned one by one for him.
I obtain the items I have through my own efforts.
I took the flag to the japanese embassy, And all I asked of them is it translation, and repatriation to the family of the original owner if possible.
In american who work in the embass handled this. He just acted like a Jerk.
He was eager for me to have it sent to the chinto shrine if they could not identify an owner.
I told him that was exactly contrary to my desires. Because I saw this shinto shrine as something that glorifies send murder of all the Americans who died in that war. The alternate condition was that it would come back to me if they could not figure out at least the city it came from. Like if the original owner was from Yokohama. But they couldn't figure out who he was then off to yokohama.
But when it came back to me, There was not even so much as a thank you note for letting them look at the thing. It was simply a bare flag in a large fedex envelope.
Don't beef fold. The spirit of the Pacific war. Is still alive and well in today's japanese just like it was then.
I do wish I had the money though once upon a time... To buy a bear kitana blade which had all kinds the signature stampings on the Tang. It was burnt over pretty well because it had been found in a cave in okinawa.
I suppose someone hit it with a flame to her along with the owner and everything else there....
If I only had that blade today...
Je préfère les japonais. A BON ENTENDEUR
