This episode was super heavy, but in such a different way than the previous ones! It really makes you appreciate just how strong the Marines are!

Oh boy…back to the horrors of war. This will be tough after the feel good emotions and adrenaline rush of the Rocky movies. But I’ll be watching along later tonight.

Hope you’re having a blast at PAX East!

This was a tough one. You can almost feel your fingers pruning just watching it. It’s easy to see how these men inspired G.I. Joe. They were the real G.I. Joes. “without all the grimacing.” ;-) By the way, here is the John Basilone comic Pvt. Loudmouth was reading… War Heroes, Issue #6 (1943) http://www.raritan-online.com/jb-comic-book.htm

Special mention for the actor who played Dr. Grant at the psychiatric hospital in Banika… Matt Craven. I’ve always liked him over the years. He’s never been a leading man, but always a dependable second or a perfect addition to any ensemble cast. For more Matt Craven, check out… Meatballs (1979), starring Bill Murray. Craven’s film debut. Tin Men (1987), starring Richard Dreyfuss, Barbara Hershey and Danny Devito. Jacob’s Ladder (1990), starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña and Danny Aiello K2 (1991), co-starring Michael Biehn. A Few Good Men (1992), written by Aaron Sorkin, directed by Rob Reiner and featuring an incredible All-Star cast, headlined by Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. Indian Summer (1993), another awesome ensemble cast including Alan Arkin, Diane Lane and Bill Paxton. Crimson Tide (1995), an amazing Action Thriller directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun), featuring another incredible ensemble cast, lead by Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.

"No wonder you guys don't talk about Guadalcanal, you didn't do anything. Apparently, John Basilone did everything.... Haha. Now he's back home selling bonds and dicking blonds." I remember being curious about Eugene at this point, as you are. Also, as you noted, Leckie did look better at the end of this episode than earlier in this episode. "They murdered sleep." I wonder if that based on Shakespeare's "Macbeth hath murdered sleep!” They killed peace. No rest. Insomnia. "I hope it's quick and easy for you Leckie. Jap sniper, maybe. You get nailed in the first two minutes."

Sometimes the mind is deadlier than the enemy. Also, water in itself can't damage a firearm. Submerge it and you would have issues, but lots of rain can't clog it. You run into problems when the rain mixes with all the carbon that builds up when you fire it. It creates a sticky sludge that could jam your weapon. That's why it's so vital to keep your weapons clean. The Iraqi soldiers I fought beside in Iraq had AK-47s so rusty I wasn't sure if that wasn't the color they actually came in. They still fired though.

Truly an incredible episode. They dont show this stuff in war movies much. Not in this depth. Thank you for continuing strong and sharing your watching experience with us. Episode 5 starts a whole new hell.
