The Pacific 1x01 Guadalcanal/Leckie

God - I’d be barfing on those boats.

OK! Pop quiz!

On August 7, 1942, 11,000 U.S. Marines came ashore on Guadalcanal.

Name them. :stuck_out_tongue:

All of them came ashore. Done. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d have my helmet securely fastened 'cause the sh&% is gonna hit the fan.

Hm. that Thompson wasn’t legit. It was an M1 or an M1A1 and they couldn’t load drum mags…

Eh bad idea. If there’s a concussive force, from say an explosion if you have it fastened it can catch the force and pull your head with it(Not like off but whiplashy). If it’s unfastened it’ll just knock your helmet off

Like I would ever notice!

Well I notice! I’m a gun nut what can I do.

Also man that’d be so frakkin creepy.

Also edit: I’m dumb, that’s a legit version of the thompson

I would be crapping my pants…

“If you can’t fight 'em drunk, don’t fight 'em at all.”

Sound advice. :slight_smile:

Hey DP - want to be honking 1/2 that big machine gun around a Pacific island?

M1917 .30 cal, water cooled. Only 100 some odd pounds including water, ammo, and tripod Lol

I’ll take a BAR thank you very much

How in the frak do you fight in the pitch black like that?

Shoot the muzzle flashes, there’s a dude behind it.

I get that but still…

And that’s why the pacific was so scary. They don’t fight like we do. The Germans, the Italians, etc in Europe when it comes down to it fought the same war we fought.

And I guess it sorta prepared us for Korea?

You could say that

It’s over? Already?

Good version of Happy Birthday

Oh man time just flew.
