The second time, you will make a coping mechanism thinking that you will have to do this because it is part of your job, or in my case think of the body as not human or alive. Third time, you will feel a bit more accustomed to your situation. After that, you will feel desensitized and do you lr job naturally. If you think about it, it's amazing how humans tend to adapt/rationalize to their situations if it calls for it, especially for wartime or morbid

As his unit approached an area, they could see a civilian area from a distance that the Japanese Army had left. They could see a man throwing his wife and children off a cliff from a distance. The man was saving his family from being tortured by the American invading force. Only to find out it wasn't true that Americans tortured enemy soldiers or civilians. My father said that Japanese soldiers were also convinced of that as well.

Sure, it would’ve been costly, but a large portion of the Japanese brass was in favour of a surrender and the emperor himself knew that, with the Russians coming through the Kamchatka peninsula and the US from the east, the fall of Japan was near. They were basically fighting only to get more favourable terms on their surrender. On the other hand, the US, after the split of Europe with the Russians, didn’t want to recreate a similar situation in the Pacific, knowing the Russians were the only other power who could challenge the US on the world stage after the war, so they decided to use the bombs and end the war early before the Russians could participate in an invasion of Japan and sit at the negotiation table. That is the crude reality of why the US decided to drop the bombs: not because they thought invading Japan would bear too high a human cost (which, sure, must’ve been a factor in the decision), but mainly because they knew Russia would want a slice of Japan’s territories, while the US wanted to establish an area of influence in the region without having to share it with the Russians.

Must be very discouraging seeing all those dead soldiers before you even get to the frontline.

At one instance in Okinawa, the Japanese proved themselves to be more despicable than the Nazis. The Japanese were fond of using nighttime raids, not necessarily because it resulted in a lot of kills, but because it shattered enemy moral to realize that even at night you could be moments away from getting shot/bayonetted by a Japanese solider. After a few nights of this, the Americans were on edge and a bit quick on the trigger. It seemed they caught the Japanese red handed one night and gun fire cut loose for about a minute before several soldiers started frantically yelling for a cease fire. Come to find out, the Japanese had rounded up native Okinawans (whom the Japanese considered to be racially inferior peoples) and forced them to march towards the American positions at night, knowing full well they'd get shot at and killed by Americans thinking it was another nighttime raid. Absolutely soulless behavior from people that deserved to die.

Because the Geneva convention and martime law only held with European countries. Japan walked out of the League of Nations 1931. No international laws were respected in the pacific theater.

Honestly the fact that the Japanese soldiers were even able to hold out as long as they did on Okinawa is a testament to how absolutely incredible they were as soldiers. Imagine having a fuck ton of destroyers just laying down thousands of munitions on top of you, only for you to have to hop out and fight off entire marine divisions.

By this time in the Pacific theater, medics and Corpsmen didn't wear any identifying markers; the Japanese would target anyone with 'Red Cross' armbands or markers on their helmets. Unless they were CO's like Doss, Medics and Corpsmen were authorized to carry side-arms or carbines because the Japanese did not respect any claims to non-combatant status.

I waited on a man who was in the battle. Never spoke a word to his wife or family about it. That evening he just started going on about it. His family brought him to our restaurant to try to chill him out. He quietly told us of his exploits and how bad it was. Ate a piece of fish and drank beer. Said, I’m done to his wife, kissed her on the cheek and they left. Came in disheveled and left with a gait of sheer dignity. It was wild… The ghosts that must have been in those poor souls.

So why they went so far out of their way to make them seem like a "Green" unit at this point in the war, when in fact they were a very experienced unit by this point, is beyond me... they'd all seen combat together in two different actions.... Not saying the movie was bad, just feels like that took too many liberties on a movie that frankly, doesn't need liberties, the true story is great enough on its own...

The 77th Inf Div didn't join the fighting on the island until May. However, what this movie gets wrong is how this wasn't the division's first battle. Doss would have already seen combat on Guam, Leyte, and Ie Shima before Okinawa. They would have been one of the most veteran units there.

Maybe the Japanese should have removed that big cargo net.

Vince. Man he is the worst actor I have ever seen. So unbelievable in any part he plays.

The US had all that firepower and never bothered to bomb the side of the cliff to make a slope. No wonder you lost and had to resort to nukes!

I think they wanted to keep the cliff from falling on their guys at the bottom. Gunner: “Did we get em?’” Guy looking through binoculars at the soldiers under cliff: “Yeah, you got em’”

you do know that you can withdraw troops to a safe location before shelling. Leave the thinking to men with brains. Go read a comic book@@iammelon7803

the only problem i have with this clip is in 1:55 or near it when a soldier shouts all clear if you know you are behind enemy lines you don't shout that just asking for trouble I'm no military expert but I've seen enough war films to understand that

I'm ex military your right, and wrong. Do yo think the Japs didn't know they were there, especially after the naval bombardment. But I think this was done because the civilians watching don't understand military hand signals. Plus they are all half deaf from al the shooting weapons they have done. You go deaf , well hear BUZZZZZ after a few rounds, happened to me, so can you imagine how bad these guys hearing is.

Either way, I don’t think you have to be a military expert to know that you don’t shout that. When your in a place where the enemy can avoid patrols and raid behind your lines, it’s just asking to be attacked. Hand signals were made for a reason.

@@iammelon7803 At that point in the war, the Japanese were dug in and not about to attack out in the open. Also, how is a column of men going to notice a hand signal when there's a tank and other vehicles coming down the road?

Same here, can’t stand Mel Gibson and this movie is so corny and falls into every Hollywood war movie trope.

Mel Gibson has done a good job on this great movie

Can somebody explain to me why the Japanese didn’t just cut the rope to prevent the Americans from getting up there?

I wonder about women who think they have the ability to engage in combat. I'm a woman, and in my mind I'm running and screaming like a girl just by watching these movie clips.

The M3 replaced the Thompson very quickly on the Pacific Theater from 1944 as it had a cover for the ejector which made it a more reliable weapon, able to endure the extreme conditions of this theater.
