The Pacific | Part Six | Full Reaction
Added 2025-03-29 22:29:26 +0000 UTCThis was both harrowing and eye-opening. Seeing Sledge's transformation continue from an innocent hopeful recruit to a hardened Marine was heartbreaking. The extreme heat, the unforgivable rocky terrain, and the ache for water painted a vivid picture of the hardships these marines had faced during their time on Peleliu back in September 1944. Snafu's dark humor and unsettling behavior contrasted so sharply with Sledge's at first. But now, I'm afraid they'll soon be one and the same.

LOL at the toilet paper being asswipe. Of course! 😂 And I see what you're saying about the water. I thought maybe the animal drank it and then died drinking it haha. But yes, I see it now. Thank you for clearing that up! Leckie's wounds sound so horrible. No wonder why he was suffering so badly. And I can't even imagine what that can do to your brain.. What a terrifying description :(

2025-03-30 15:39:35 +0000 UTCWhen Syd told Eugene's parents he would be behind the line, and that mortars were in less danger he was lying to spare their feelings. If you recall, he saw a lot of close fighting on Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester. He just did what he thought was the right thing to do to ease their minds. The japanese didn't poison the water as in literally putting poison in it. But a rotting corpse creates a ton of bacteria, and drinking water that has a corpse floating in it can make you very sick, leading to terrible dehydration which can be fatal. Asswipe = Toilet paper Leckie's wounds were a combination of the overpressure from the blast and then hitting the tree. It's hard to explain adequately. The best analogy I can come up with for getting hit with the overpressure of significant blast is like like getting in a car wreck at high speed. It is sudden, it is violent, it hurts, and it can kill you. It can tear and crush internal organs, and it really jacks your brain up. When it's really dusty you can watch it come at you. It's like time slows down almost, but you can never move fast enough. It's awful.
