The Pacific

Been watching this 2010 miniseries, a followup to Band of Brothers, and also by Spielberg and Hanks. Very different than BoB, and rightfully so. A very different war.

You wanna see how war is hell? watch this series.

Yeah, the scenes from the beaches make Saving Private Ryan look like Frozen.

I read both Sledge and Leckie's books. I have to say I liked the latter a lot more, both for its perspective and for the style. Guy was a good writer.

I've read the books several times. I wish the film would have stuck to one or the other.
