Is he the Jew America needed but didn't deserve?

>In the late 1960s, Sobel shot himself in the head with a small-caliber pistol.[9] The bullet entered his left temple, passed behind his eyes, and exited out the other side of his head. This severed his optic nerves and left him blind.[9] He was later moved to a VA assisted living facility in Waukegan, Illinois. Sobel resided there for his last seventeen years until his death due to malnutrition on September 30, 1987.[9] No services were held for Sobel after his death.[9]

People tend to like it less because it's much more exhausting to watch and romanticizes the war a lot less. Honestly despite being about they same war they're not really comparable. They both set out to do two different things and they both do it well.
>>64644666

>US WAR HERO
>just left to starve to death
BRAVO!
>>64644630
too preachy. decent story and it was nice to hear about something other then D-day for once, but it was like a whiny high school faggot cutting his wrists and demanding you give him attention. Every 15 minutes somebody had a nervous breakdown or killed themselves or went insane to beat you over the head with how bad the pacific theatre was. Then there was the whole love story in Australia that wasn't needed.
Overall 7/10, good but BOB was better
WHAT IS THIS? ANYBODY?
>>64644763
It's United States Army Property, sir.
>>64644763
Uh....it's a can of peaches sir.
>>64644630
A good effort, but not nearly as good as BoB.
Despite that, it had it's moments.

Snafu and Sledge are the patrician's OTP
It's pretty great, one step below BoB but still way better than most series, must watch imo
>>64644666
EVERY time
>>64644812
WRONG.
This is United States Army Property.
Anon, your weekend pass is revoked.
WHAT IS THE GODDAMN HOLD-UP, MR. SOBEL
are new threads unfucked?
>>64644630
Objective opinion coming through
BoB > Generation Kill > Pacific
BoB and Generation Kill can arguably be swapped, otherwise this is the gold standard of miniseries.

You has till oh-dark-hunnid to unfuck yaself
>>64644977
This nigga has it. I can never decide on whether or not I like BoB or GK more but The Pacific definitely lags behind both.
>>64644982
>it's a Sixta molests children episode
>>64644903
What a nice safe 4chan-accreddited opinion.
>>64644623
>that fucking jaw line on winters
brit actor cant even compared, and they did a good job casting him
>>64645030
YOUR PUBIC HAIRS
ARE IN VIOLATION
OF THE LOLI STANDARD
>>64644977
>>64645027
The production values of BoB is far above that of GK.
And if we're talking about miniseries then From the Earth to the Moon is certainly up there
>>64644623
>>64645048
The real Winters looks more like Hollywoodized / based on true events version than the actor.
tfw they finally got ol' Guarnere
Are there any Band of Brothers who are still alive?
>>64644546
Is he the beginning of the spaghetti meme?
>>64645128
He and Toy are bantering the fuck out of Webster on that big battlefield in the sky now.
Based Bill was one of my favorite characters.
>>64645128
Malarkey and tipper are the only one alive that are in the series IIRC

>malarkey outlives everyone
>>64644546
DAE think Lieutenant Dike is a bad company leader too? he is never around and never brings the banter
Also my boss at work is really friendly and always asks how my kids are so I'll happily work weekends off the clock for him when he needs, he buys me a six pack sometimes.
>>64645267
>>64645194
I thought it was because Eminem threw up spaghetti when he was nervous.
Literally couldn't hold onto his spaghetti.

Who knew hurling through space could be so comfy?
>>64645194
I ASKED A FUCKING QUESTION
IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE SPAGHETTI MEME?
>>64645333
A old coworker of mine got to meet shifty when he was appraising shifty's land up in VA before he died.
>>64645341
Why are there so many people asking for the origins of memes lately? Fuck off
>>64645333
Oh
>and Ron fucking Spiers
>>64645278
Actually IRL Dike was fucking based. He only stopped his attack on Carantan because he was wounded multiple times by machine gun fire and according to Lipton was "falling apart." Physically. He was reassigned to division afterwards because of his wounds.
Before that, he personally dragged three of his wounded men out of enemy fire.
>>64645341
No, it's from 8 Mile, the Eminem movie.
>mom's spaghetti
>>64645296
Malarkey. Malarkey's slang for "bullshit," isn't it?
Bastogne is one of my favourite episodes of anything ever
>>64645358
Explains why he would be hesitant at Foy.
Fear of being re-aerated by German weapons a second time would be pretty powerful.
>>64645385
Doc Roe was such a surprisingly badass dude.
>>64645385
Yep, just a powerful episode.
Why We Fight is probably my favorite episode, not because of the Holocaust stuff, but because it's all Nixon-focused.
>>64645381
"Yes sir!"
>>64645391
Sorry, not Carantan, Foy.
>In September 1944, during Operation Market Garden, Dike, who was assigned as the assistant S-2 (Intelligence Officer) of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, jumped into the Netherlands.[8][10] Dike was awarded a Bronze Star for his action at Uden, Holland, with the 101st Airborne Division between 23 and 25 September 1944, in which he "organized and led scattered groups of parachutists in the successful defense of an important road junction on the vital Einhoven (sic)-Arnhem Supply Route against superior and repeated attacks, while completely surrounded."[7][8]
>Winters later wrote of Dike as being an inexperienced officer who, his superiors believed, needed exposure to the front line.[12] Lieutenant Edward Shames did not believe that Dike and some other officers were concerned about casualties but did not explain the basis for his opinion.[13] Dike acquired the pejorative nickname of "Foxhole Norman" among the members of Easy Company.[14][15]
>Dike was awarded a second Bronze Star for his action at Bastogne, in which "he personally removed from an exposed position, in full enemy view, three wounded members of his company, while under intense small arms fire" on 3 January 1945.[7][8]
>In preparation for the 13 January 1945 attack on Foy, Belgium, E Company was attached to the 3rd Battalion, 506th PIR
>Carwood Lipton, at that time the company's first sergeant, described Dike as having "fallen apart."[17] Clancy Lyall stated that he saw that Dike had been wounded in his right shoulder and that it was the wound, not panic, that caused Dike to stop. Winters sent First Lieutenant Ronald Speirs to relieve Dike of his responsibility for the attack and complete it. Dike returned to the rear in the company of a medic; Winters ignored Dike. Foy was secured by 1300 hours.
Seems to me he was a fresh officer hated by the "old guard" and did the best he could. Probably suffered massive blood loss which affected his judgement.
>>64644546
Was he autistic?
>>64645128
What does it take to get killed in this war?
>>64645442
Plus the music.
>>64645375
That's gay as fuck.
>>64645442
Both Bastogne episodes are my faves desu
>>64645467
>it's a Joe Toye miraculously avoids getting fragged by not one, but two separate potato mashers at point blank range episode
>>64644578
>my LT wanted to ban fapping
kek
Pretty much everything is considered contraband during Basic Training
>>64644666
Why didn't he just shot himself again? You'd think being blind would be even more of a reason to an hero
>>64644630
fuck the marines

Best Generation Kill scene coming up
>>64644546
watching this for the first time with the old man. its pretty great, probably my favorite war movie/show ive ever seen
>>64646101
WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?
WHO'S THE SLIMY-LITTLE-COMMUNIST-SHIT-TWINKLE-TOED-COCKSUCKER DOWN HERE, WHO JUST SIGNED HIS OWN DEATH WARRANT?!
>>64645358
This was honestly the biggest problem I had with the series. Both Dyke and Blithe were based as fuck irl, no idea why they made them cucks for no reason.
Also,le concentration camp wasn't even in the early editions of the Ambrose book
>inb4/pol/
>>64644546
Titter is a funny word
>>64644763
Simon Pegg was in this?
Who else was in BoB?
>>64644763
>that little faggot in the background
>>64646511
fassbender, that late night comedian, and a few others.
>>64645498
It's not 8 mile
If you're asking about pockets wth spaghetti it came from a bodybuilding.com aspie who literally spilled his bag of spaghetti noodles when he talked to a girl
>>64646511
Big E. Guy, Fassbender, Jimmy Fallon, James McAvoy, Tom Hanks' kid, Donnie Wahlberg. Some others I think.
>tfw you're the grandson of a paratrooper who served in a unit that saw a shitload more action than those dudes but nobody's ever heard of it
>>64646400
Blithe becomes based though
>totally out of his depth
>scared shirtless
>coach winters gets him in the game
>fire your weapon blithe!
>takes the flower of the true warrior from the German he killed
>starts volunteering for patrols when no one else will
>>64646631
>you're the son of a submariner that served on the single most damaged submarine in the navy to fight and make it back to port without sinking

Grandson. Shit. Sorry, dad.
>>64644625
>that one guy who's mom bought him a 20 pack of Trojans after she found out he has sex once and never used a single one
I-I was that guy
>>64646760
>gets shot in the neck for his bravery anyway
>>64646818
Thems the breaks
>>64645030
So, Marines really are as scummy as GK portrayed them. lol
>>64646760
His irl life was so fucking comfy though
>"Blithe eventually recovered and received the Purple Heart, but was unable to return to duty. He was eventually released on 8 October 1945 and found a job in Philadelphia for Westinghouse Electric. The Army stayed with him, however, and he reenlisted on 28 March 1949. He was discharged on 27 March 1952, but he reenlisted again on 24 March 1954. He won his Masters Parachutist Badge on 13 May and served with the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team in post-war Korea. He eventually married a woman named Kay, had a son named Gordon and a daughter."
>>64646981
Did he fight in Korea?
>>64646760
How was he out of his depth? He was able to make it through the same rigorous training that everyone else had.
>>64646511
Stephen Graham (Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire) and allegedly Tony Blair's kid
>>64646511
Fucking everyone m8
I still have his signed photo that ol' my history
teacher who personally knew him got me. Nice to have a small shred of some history.
