    "Bad Luck For That Captain." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #movieinsight #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 Army is unloading crates of fresh supplies. An air raid siren goes off, and the soldiers drop everything and run to the jungle for cover when they see enemy planes overhead. The Marines sit and wait, hiding behind two barrels. They're taking advantage of the Army's ignorance of the fact that the Japanese bomb the airfield, not the beach. Then the Marines run in and raid what supplies they can: Crackers, canned goods, anything, and the marines discover that the Army has a better weapon than they do -- the M1 Garand rifle.
    Leckie cracks open a captain's footlocker and sees it's full of personal items. He grabs a nice looking pair of moccasin slippers and a box of cigars. Phillips and Juergens crack open another crate and see new M1 Garand rifles, but before Phillips can help himself the Army starts trickling back in and the Marines run with their pilfered booty, laughing. Leckie is still walking with his stash when Lt. Corrigan rides up in a Jeep and stops him.
    When Leckie returns to his foxhole, he shows off his cigars and greedily says he won't share them. But, he adds, he got something for them - cans of peaches. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

That last one was full of sand and packing grease. I told everyone that it was US Army equipment and I was securing it from enemy hands. Cleaned it up and it was as good as the day it was issued. It hung on my wall for 14 months until I was ordered to return it. The other rifles? Senior NCO's and officers had to come humble to take them back to their units. The drugs?

    Fun fact: The Marine Corps was skeptical of the M1 Garand and believed the M1903 Springfield was more reliable in the dirt and grime of combat. As such while they had thousands of M1 Garands before the battle of Guadalcanal they chose to issue them to support troops first, with the hope that any issues would be found and fixed before they were issued to the infantry. Several Marine units landed on Guadalcanal with M1 Garands, such as the the 3rd Defense Battalion (a Costal Artillery and Anti-Aircraft unit), and the 11th Marines (an Artillery Regiment). The 8th Marines, an infantry regiment, landed with 250 M1 Garands originally destined for Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego because the regiment had a shortage of M1903 Springfields and used the M1 Garand as a stopgap.

There is such a thing as sacrificing for a greater good which'll benefit all. You can't run a civilization where everyone's trying to cheat each other all the time and dodge responsibility; eventually, someone has to step up and be an adult.
      WWII was one of those few wars in human history where there was no moral gray-zone: one side was good, the other was absolutely evil. One side was launching one campaign of extermination after the next and killing civilians in the tens-of-millions, the other was responding to the aggression with a pinprick of the horrors the axis powers inflicted on them. Germany suffered 1.5-3 million civilian casualties...after invading the USSR and exterminating 13-20 million civilians; Japan suffered less than one million civilians killed, right after going into China and massacring 13-19 million civilians. The axis were absolutely evil, while the allies (despite being victimized on an unprecedented scale) fought back with unbelievable restraint; anyone who was "stupid" enough to endanger themselves and sacrifice their short-term safety and material comfort in order to rid the world of the greatest evils ever seen is an absolute hero.

      the 1st marines were well in 1942 under supplied due to the ammo ship that was supposed to resupply the 1st marines was attacked by i think was zeros or a Japanese destroyer and the marine CO didn't believe in the m1 garand , would rather have marines continued using m1903 Springfield until he was convinced so really i wouldn't blame the marines for stealing they kinda needed to considering they were in the jungle holding the Japanese from taking Henderson from all directions

    Because we were singing a cadence making fun of the branches as we walked by them, happened to be singing the coast guard part of that cadence. It did not take them long to find our stuff and take off with it.

    Its true about the rifles. While the semi automatic M1 Garand was adopted in 1935 there was a few things changed on it before it went into full scale production. Also manufacturing issues at first delayed all branches from getting the gun. The first military branch was the US Army to be fully equipped with the new M1. The Marines were still using the old WW1 M1903 Springfield bolt action rifles until mid 43.
