I didn't know the Pacific and the Western front were the entire war. There are other series which cover other aspects of the war.

I'm baffled how someone who's clearly not right in the head got to command people.

That's not Fruity Rudy.

>>62767656

Band of brothers except for the last episode skipped the pacific entirely and had very little in the way of showing horrors of war besides Buck dropping his helmet and giving a theater performance in the middle of a forest.

I juxtaposed the Pacific because in a lot of ways, it had BoB moments but it showed a lot of why those guys hated the fucking war. I felt like BoB made people want to sign up to fight bs and was told in a manner that was very spielberg.

I'm sorry, if your story is being told right, you should not want to fight in a war.

Yeah, at least for war miniseries. GK actually confronted the horrors of war but kept them in stride and even managed to have a black sense of humor about it, like "yeah a bunch of people just got killed due to sheer incompetence that was entirely preventable if one vector of communication hadn't failed but fuck it the sun's gonna rise tomorrow like it always does".

That and the wonderful quoteables that make up at least a quarter of every hour long episode.

>>62767705
Fucking screwby

why is BoB the only good series ever that is about soldiers/military?

I don't know, how does a nation allow someone who had fewer votes than his opponent become president

I like it because it triggers naziboos

>>62767860
band of brothers portrayed it all perfectly imo. and to a lesser extent private ryan.

if watch the jump on d-day and want to join up to be a paratrooper that's the fault of the audience, not the show.

i would much rather prefer combat be portrayed accurately and as realistic as possible rather than have "horrors of war" cliches shoved into the camera at every moment. i.e. the pacific and fury
>>
>>62767934
American fighter pilots? Boring.
>>
>>62767860
BoB is more like a monument to Easy Company to honor their deeds, while Pacific is more about the horrors of war in the Pacific. They're both amazing and the best stuff HBO ever released.
>>
>>62768226
>>62767934
Actually it's about bomber pilots.

>>62768309
cool, thanks. I wasnt sure exactly what it was about, could only remember it had to do with flying.
