I love when they start doing the running cadence and he's all bummed because he doesn't know the words
lmao

He was bummed because Winters was there with them, and he was intentionally trying to get them to hate him by doing shit like forcing him to find infractions and scheduling spaghetti right before they were forced to run so they'd vomit. The man was just a malicious cunt.

Anyone knows what happened to that actor who played Nixon, he also played lead in office space.
I don't see him anywhere nowadays.

On a field or outside on mostly flat terrain in your track gear mommy paid for while those men did it in shitty boots rain or shine up and down steep hills to get ready for war. Cant be a fagot like you and just run then go home after practice to do fuck fuck shit in your bedroom. Try waking up 0500 for pt, eat, ftx, clean you gun, more pt, formations etc etc. You wouldn't last an hour in fucking reception. Fuck you track fagots.

Not to mention the army gear that doubles your weight

He was doing his best to break their spirit and they just started singing. He had to act like he was bummed out by it but in reality he was proud as fuck of his troops. Captain Sobel was the hero we deserved.

Is there a consensus on the worst episode? For me it's The Last Patrol otherwise known as that lame episode when that boring coward Webster is reintegrated into the unit and we have to endure Colin Hanks trying to act.

Holocaust episode

Last episode was worst because it didn't have anything.

by "hero we deserved" do you mean "jew who was removed from command before D-Day"?
in all seriousness though he was an excellent training officer

He's safe, pretty sure Sobel's a Jew

>what are you doing soldier
>Taking rest from all the shitposting
>That's it your Yea Forums pass is revoked there is no resting when you are a Yea Forums shitposter

This is the most unironically boomer post I've ever seen on Yea Forums.

seems like being in ww2 was kino, kinda wish I was there bros

For all the wrong reasons. He didn't give a shit how combat ready they were, he wasn't even combat ready and nearly shit himself during training jumps. He was more concerned with getting promoted and earning good boy points with Colonel Sink

>not ranking the baseball match ending as one of the best parts of the series
What kind of a faggot are you?

I would take any meaning or purpose to life. War would be an ok purpose, I guess.

Disgusting ESL here, but what did Winter meant by "We salute the rank, not the man" when he met Soble again in the final episode?
I thought he meant like "I don't care how you feel about me, but you must still obey military protocol", but now that I think about it again it just feels kinda wrong.

Uh, it’s a can of peaches sir.

No, that's essentially what he's saying. "I know you hate me, but I outrank you now so just salute because that's what we do."

>101st were pussies

There I said it. America jumps into the war in Europe with less than a year to go, and then has the balls to come back 50 years later and act like they won the thing

The average German or Soviet soldier knew war on a scale that Americans or Britons couldn't even imagine.

He was flexing on Sobel.

>standard WW2 thread bait
Literally every single time.

>Americans couldn’t imagine
>USA was literally kicking Japan in the dick at the same time they were putting Germany in a headlock

Just because USA didn’t die by the gorillions doesn’t mean they don’t know war the same way.

THE WAR WAS ON A BREAK!

>come back 50 years later
we never left, Europe has been vassals under American military protection since then

>impersonating a superior officer for personal gain
That's court martial right there.

Contribution is not measured by the amount of soldiers that die from starvation or nigger-tier logistics. We fought two fronts on separate continents and made it possible for Russia and Allies to gain a foothold and fight back. Individual grittiness of soldiers doesn't mean shit if your soldiers can't eat or only have one gun per eight soldiers. You can keep the "hardened soldiers" bs.

>War would be an ok purpose, I guess.
Sure, a war to protect your country's sovereignty, or an ally's sovereignty, would be worth fighting. But shipping off to fight shitskins because your Government want to control their oil? Fuck that shit.

>He was more concerned with getting promoted and earning good boy points with Colonel Sink
It baffles me how these kind of officers still exist even today. You'd think the training in boot camp would weed out the sycophant or at least instill in them a sense of loyalty to their men.

Working out during Ramadan sucks, but if I can pull off lifting I'm pretty sure cardio won't be a huge issue.

>USA was literally kicking Japan in the dick
That show fucking sucked, though. The only good part was the kino intro.

>guy stays and recuperates fully before returning to the front in fighting condition instead of sneaking away early
>he's a piece of shit coward
Why? Sneaking off in an unfit condition puts every other man who is reliant on you not fucking up or crapping out when the shit hits the fan at serious risk. Why was this a lauded thing?
Fuck the band of 'brothers' for ostrasizing Webster for doing literally nothing wrong and trying only to maintain combat effectiveness

>implying those kinds of people don't all arrive fresh from military academies, where they've been taught to kiss ass towards their parents and teachers from childhood
The perpetual officers don't show up from nowhere and do bootcamp, they got their ticket bought by their parents the day they got enrolled, or the day they got born the kid of some general.

>Author Stephen Ambrose wrote of Webster: "He had long ago made it a rule of his Army life never to do anything voluntarily. He was an intellectual, as much an observer and chronicler of the phenomenon of soldiering as a practitioner. He was almost the only original Toccoa man who never became an NCO. Various officers wanted to make him a squad leader, but he refused. He was there to do his duty, and he did it — he never let a buddy down in combat, in France, Holland, or Germany — but he never volunteered for anything and he spurned promotion".
You could see why a guy like that would be looked at funnily in a culture where you're meant to volunteer for bullshit just so your buddies don't have to do it. It's almost even worse that he wasn't a fuck-up, because he's clearly better than some of other men and so should volunteer and survive instead of them going and dying. That kind of thinking.

Why did based Hitler + animeland have to lose the war lads

Just a reminder that they never made the “run” Currahee, probably because running 3 miles up hill and back is fucking pointless.

They would just have to walk it double time, with gear

But he actually did volunteer for the night raid?
I feel like that it would have been more meaningful if his attitude had been established beforehand instead of
>hey you're a piece of shit for following the protocol that keeps us alive
and then
>hey you're alright for following a different protocol that also keeps us alive, let me give you a hand up to demonstrate this now
It's on the nose and obscure at the same time

Never realized Harry was Neptun Scourge

Hey why I don't see any jokes related to Schwimmer and his cast in "Friends"?

iirc he was throwing sobels shit back in his face now that he outranked him.

Because he played his role amazingly.

Sobel was embarrassed that winter had suddenly out ranked him, when sobel felt not only he was a higher rank but better than him in epsiode 1. So when they meet and winter out ranks him, sobel never saluted, which sobel should have done to a superior officer.

because they never could have won it

>both declare war and attack the two biggest super powers with no real plan to beat them
good job.

Go find interviews with Dick Winters, he's the first guy to talk shit about how incompetent Sobel was as a field commander, but he always defends the fact that part of what made Easy company so effective was all the shit Sobel put them through in training.
He never should have been a field commander

All Japan had to do was not invade the phillipines, the USA was perfectly content to let them destroy China and fight Russia for control of Korea. But noooooooo they just had to start claiming US territories.

It always surprises me how heavy the Garand is whenever I hold one. It's way heavier than it looks. And so much of the gun's weight is on the barrel instead of on the stock, too. Would be very annoying to aim for extended periods.

they destroyed most of the US navy and even then 2 years later the US had the best navy in the world. it was a lose lose scenario, they didn't even destroy the US Carriers, the one thing they had to destroy but they weren't even stationed in pearl harbor. Japs didn't even know that the US was in he process of building multiple new battleships, cruisers and destroyers at the time of PH. Japs were fucked from the start, regardless of a year. Yamamoto was talented but he was on the losing side from day 1.

funny thing is IRL and in the book he isn't even that bad, the book elaborates more that he was a good guy and a decent commander but under the pressures of the actual war he cracked too much. He is less egregious in the book. It is one of the few flaws of GK, the relentless universal officer bashing

The problem with everything in generation kill was that first recon was organized into a mechanized infantry unit and everyone forgot that they were supposed to be operators. So intelligence officers like Captain America and Encino man, who were never supposed to be on the field, or commanding men are now doing just that, at the spear head of an invasion.
And like said, they show plenty of love to the officers. It's there to contrast the good and the bad.

I will give you that, there are plenty of officers within the show that are competent but just feels like the focused more on the bad officers to drum up drama and a faux-antagonist, in the book they are a far lesser element. Still a fantastic show.

Sobel was so bad if he'd actually got into combat he would have wiped out the entire company. America was only leading a platoon and he was doing it against a generally inept opposition who had practically nothing larger than trucks.
Can you imagine Sobel leading the assault on the artillery after D-Day, let alone all the other action later.

So is that a good thing or a bad thing

Remember boooooyyys, FLAAAAHS spread disEASE. so keep your clooosed

I watched generation kill yesterday, I guess BoB is up next.

the pacific is good but not as good as either, its bogged down by multiple character threads, john basalone stuff is weak, lecky is alright but he gets boring after a while, sledge is the strongest. it is worth watching for the battles and certain episodes/scenes but is easily the weakest out of the 3 war mini series.

PIVOT

lol

I just rewatched recently and last episode is fucking kino. You will refill your canteen and repeat all 10 episodes of the series immediately!

I really didn't like the pacific. Would have much rather seen something that followed MacArthur from the Philippines to Straya then to New guinea and a return to the Philippines. Plenty of brutal fighting, and its a side of the pacific that isn't usually focused on.
Plus I bet you could get all kinds of tax breaks from australia for filming there and showing the world they did something besides be slaughtered in Gallipoli.

holy shit dude. Japan attacked because they literally had no choice. Once they didn't annihilate the carriers during PH it was fucking over. They had literally 0 chance of success. Not a single number was on their side.

That isn't an M1

>they literally had no choice
They could have decided to stop invading all of Asia at any point.

3 miles up, three miles down. Also doing this in full gear and uniform.
They're also doing this in South Georgia, where it is 100 degrees with 105% humidity. The kind of hot sticky shitty weather that just glues your balls to your thigh for weeks at a time. You sweat in a cold shower. It's miserable.

And that is kinda why I felt the pacific was shit. I just felt I had to vent this right now.

either the holocaust episode or the Market Garden episode. It really failed to capture the scale or ambition of the plan

Shit, the way Australia throws money at whoever will film there they'd probably get paid.

The lads today just don't understand that it really was a bridge too far.

I didn't like The Pacific because it had none of the Brotherhood bits from BoB. Just a bunch of different characters doing a bunch of shit that hardly felt connected. Which was intentional, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

This guys spits spits with his lips on your truck. WDYD?

You should be more like [a baby-killing dog-hater].

Captain america was actually really good at his job, as was the other retarded officer in the show.
Problem is they were intelligence officers not combat leaders.

The supply guy who couldn't get any shit except for his cameras and NVG's apparently turned out to be a really good combat commander when they ended up in Afghanistan and he was out of the supply role.

not sure if youre on about a different source of this information or got it mixed up.

In the epilogue of Generation Kill's book, it mentions that after 2003 iraq, first recon was redeployed to the battle of fallujah, some of the teams were the same but many shifted or left. Brads humvee was blown to shit by an RPG and the newbie sitting in the reporters seat was killed and the captain incharge of the company was killed in a really bad ambush. Supply man (kasey kasam) took charge of the company and directed everyone out of the ambush, in which several people were badly injured and a few were killed, effectively saving many of the men.

Casey Kasem was a cock bag, but the supply problem wasn't his fault, the whole invasion was rushed and godfather mentions it offhandedly near the end that their enitre mission had been a diversion, and their supply troubles were because a certain percentage of the supply vehicles had been repurposed to carrying up artillery for Baghdad.
Also the marines procure all their funding and resources through the navy, so if it's not boats or jets they have to make do with whatever they can scrounge up. Semper Gumby.

BoB takes place over than less than one year after the first episode. The Pacific spans from the first marine invasions in 1942 all the way to the end of the war, with the same exact episode numbers as BoB. So it's not really a fair comparison.
