History Channel's WWII in HD..Starts TONIGHT !!

[campperrykid]

HBO will be releasing another WW2 movie , Pacific -- a follow-on to "Band of Brothers".
At least three of the characters will be based on real Marines who are quite well known in some circles:
GSgt. "Manilla John" Baselone. The only USMC NCO to earn both the MOH & the NC in WW2.

Eugene B. (Sledgehammer) Sledge. Author of at least 2 very good books.

Robert ( Brig Rat ) Leaky , Author of a long list of history books.

Based on reading one of Sledge's books , With the Old Breed (not China Marine , yet ) --- the latest HBO movie will be grim. A lot uglier than 'Band of Brothers or Saving Pvt Ryan. Sledge tells it like he saw it. Different war , different enemy , different response by US troops...
