Lt. Col "Chesty" Puller gathers the other men around and brightens the mood by telling them that the Japanese newspapers are describing the Marines as "not ordinary troops but...a special force recruited from jails and insane asylums full of blood lust." The men laugh and cheer. Then Chesty gives them the good news: The Army has landed. He orders every man in his battalion to be shaved and realizes that they can't do much about their uniforms. After they boys wash up they have their first encounter with the Army while walking on a narrow dirt road: a green truck rumbles up behind them and nearly runs them over, giving them no warning. Each side flips off the other and JP yells, "F****n' army. Just you f****n' wait." (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki) YOU CAN WATCH THIS TV MINI SERIES "THE PACIFIC" (2010), THROUGH OUR WEBSITE IN OUR BIO

My Okinawan grandmother used to reminisce about the absurd propaganda the Japanese would spread about Americans during WW2. They were told that due to their blue eyes, Americans were more goat than man and their eyes made them unable to see well in the dark. They were also led to believe that there was no such thing as an American woman, so you can imagine her and her family's surprise when they saw an American woman drive a truck through their village. In addition, many of her neighbors committed suicide by jumping off cliffs to avoid being captured by Americans, as they were brainwashed to believe that Americans would kill and r@p3 them. Luckily, her mother thought that committing suicide was stupid and her family took the risk of being captured by the American military. My grandmother said that the American GIs treated her family ASTRONOMICALLY better than Japanese soldiers, who were often racist to the Okinawan ethnicity and stole her village's food and crops. After the war, she would remark on how dumb they were back then to believe such lies and how she was grateful that the US won the war instead of Japan.

General Puller once accompanied the 1sr Mar Div on an extremely long Ruck march in freezing Korean weather. He started at the rear of the Division and put four Marines in side his heated Jeep to let them get warm for just a little while. When they got out he put four more in and so on and so on for the entire division while he walked the entire way without riding in the Jeep himself. That’s why his men would eat fire for him and ask for seconds. He loved his subordinate Marines down to the youngest private. This is one of hundreds of stories about Chesty that I found out about during my time I. The Corps. Chesty was a Marine’s Marine. Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are.

Puller was a true leader. The very best. He had all the respect of his men. Not just because of his rank but because he earned it and stood right beside them in battle. That's how you lead men into battle

My grandfather was a Marine in WWII. He worked at New Caledonia and he did see some action, sort of, flashes of light from over the horizon in the Battle of Guadalcanal. Still, there is a great deal for me to be proud of. It's funny, statistically speaking the vast majority of veterans were support troops. Only a small fraction of them ever saw any combat. Yet it seems every veteran who comes back saw combat. I'm not saying any of these people are lying. I don't know enough to make such a judgment. But one thing I do know, I have another relative, one of my dad's uncles. He flew a B-17 over Germany, he survived 25 missions, some were extremely hairy. There was something about him that was different. I've seen the same thing in every other veterans I know who actually saw combat. He never enjoyed talking about the war. And while he was a high functioning alcoholic, he spent the rest of is life after the war drunk. Taking human lives, whether you drop bombs from 30000 feet, or you stick a knife into the enemy so his blood flows over your hand, it does something to you, no matter how justified or necessary taking that life is, it damages your soul and you are never the same again. This is why I say, in war there is no winner. There is only the side that last, and the side that lost more. People like Putin never pay the price personally, but these are not good men. These are the leaders who force others into this high priced endeavor. You may gain things from war, but what you gain is never more than what was lost. We owe those who have paid this price a great deal. And I can not express the shame I feel that the term "Homeless Vet" exists in a country with a 100% volunteer military. That dirty junky sitting on the sidewalk volunteered to damage himself for you. How dare you walk passed pretending you did not see him! How can you support someone who thinks he is a loser? How can you fail to provide the help that man needs. Do you not understand what he has sacrificed for you? I can't do what he did because my leg was cut off when I was 3 years old. But I will do what I can to help those who sacrificed for me. You should be ashamed if you have not done the same.

I bet hearing that shit would be one hell of a morale boost for a bunch of combat marines. Something similar happened with my unit in Afghanistan. On one day about halfway through the deployment, our Brigade Commander showed up at the fob I was on. He gave us all a motivational talk and went on to tell us what SIGINT picked up on enemy comms. What they heard one of the Taliban leaders say over the radio to other fighters was "If you see a square patch with lines on it on a group of soldiers, do not try to fight them. You will not be able to kill them and they will kill too many of our people." I was with 3d ID and I tell you we had some damn warriors. Hearing those words being spoke was one of the most badass feelings I've ever felt.

One of the greatest war series ever.Who cried..

If you know anything about the US Marines youll know that the first batches of marines were recruited from Tunn Tavern. They were typically recruited for being violent criminals or fellas looking for a fight and free liquor. Sometimes they were Shanghai'd after drinking too much and passing out. Naturally when they woke up on the ship they weren't too happy but after they had been offered free booze and a paycheck and were told they were allowed to kill any enemies they came across they were pretty much always in agreement. After all that was a pretty sweet deal. A paycheck, booze AND tou can kill people? What else could a fella want?

"We look this way for a reason" Damn I love the pride in that YES SIR

Far more Army than Marines fought in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Twenty seven Divisions plus seperate Brigades. They participated in most of the beach landings right along with the Marines. The only combat airborne jump was, of course, made by the Army. 11th Airborne Division who jumped right on top of Japanese positions during the Phillipine campaign. Puller would have never said what Dale said here. He was well aware the Marines job was to be prepared for up to 90 days of sustained combat, while the Army carried the heavy load and was prepared for 9 months of sustained combat. The Marines had a specific mission, establish beachheads and secure airfields so heavy forces, the Army Divisions, could move in. The Marines certainly earned thier glory during the Island Hopping Campaign. But when it came to the invasion of mainland Japan, after Germany's surrender, and before Nagasaki and Hiroshima, of the one million men staged, and more still coming from the ETO, 95+% were Army. Further, Puller wouldnt even have had time to say it because he would have been coordinating with the LCFF Commanders with the Army landing near simultaniously. Of course movies arent real life and are made for dramatic effect. I get that. But dramatic effect oftentimes skews the true history. When it comes to war movies, it may look real, but 100% of the time the "movie facts" are simply false.

The reason they were looking this way is because they just finished opening up a can of whoop ass

I can never remember this guy's name. But he's an amazing supporting actor. Every movie I've seen him in I've always loved his acting.

Big THANK YOU to EVERY. SINGLE. ONE OF YOU. Thank you for your service to our country.

5 Navy Crosses for LGen. Puller.

When the "Army landed", they landed here in Luzon, fighting the Japanese in The Philippine's. Ultimately helping the Marines in liberating the country.

That is factual. But in this scene they had landed on this particular island, Guadalcanal.

Yeah and Marines supported the Army on D-Day and the Navy supported both in both theaters... what's your point?

I think one of the many things that many people miss about serving is the ability to be treated like an adult at work. However you have to earn it first.

I’m almost 73 now. Never served. Turned down in ‘68. 4F, hepatitis as a kid, never gained back that weight or strength. Parents were small dairy owners. No extra money, just more work. But, I had 4 half brothers, all much older than me. Oldest 2 were Navy, middle guy was Army, youngest guy was a Marine. Which one was the fighter? You know.

I can only hear Halo theme song

I love in Gloucester Va about 10 miles from where Mr Puller grew up. I went into the Marine Corps right out of High School

I'm in the army but I could feel the camaraderie. That must be a good battalion Commander he has the love of the troops

Great leadership in a horrible situation.

Now, Marines are the best but I dare say that the Guys in the Army who assaulted Normandy that were Army troops deserve as much respect as the Marines in the Pacific. Not to mention Anzio and the Market Garden invasions.

No, not really they're NOT "the best." Please STFU. They're very good but not better than the Army.

Not just the army but the 11th air division aka the angels and the 77th army division aka "the 77th marines" aka "the old bastards" (Who else loves the fact electrician?)

There were a lot of badass Army units in the Pacific Theater honestly. A lot more than what most Americans normally give the Army credit for anyways.

Great speech. That's a leader I would follow.

Favorite scene from the show. Definitely a fact that gets overlooked

Gods among men

The majority of the Pacific Theater's island campaigns, particularly the successful ones were conducted by the Army. If you're fighting the bloodiest battles, that means you're losing.

Iwo Jima can definitely be defined as one of the “bloodiest battles” of the pacific and we definitely weren’t losing…. The Marines won that one. I don’t think anyone sees your point. Marines carried the Pacific. Amphibious by nature

The Army was used when there was enough to land to maneuver on and enough enemy to make it worthwhile. All the island campaigns were successful, but in terms of casualties per day, the invasion itself was almost always the costliest part of the campaign. And in the Pacific, that was the Marines.

@@itsnotthatbad2282 Iwo Jima was a strategic dead end that was not worth the permanent loss of 6,000 Marines and 800 Sailors. Granted, that was the Navy's decision. In terms of strategically useful islands like Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa, the Army was there and did indeed carry a huge portion of the fighting. They just didn't get the same press for it.

@@Michael-dy2lb Getting tired of this myth honestly. A cursory glance at Pacific Theater operations will show you that the Army conducted far more amphibious invasions than the Marines. Which stands to reason considering the Army deployed about 3X as many troops. Army leadership (in the Pacific) just focused on minimizing losses, so they have no bloody battles to sensationalize like the Marines do.

GOOD NIGHT CHESTYY!!!!! -every marine every night no matter where they are. What a way to show respect to such a god damn legend. 👏

No Marine would ever take that newsletter as an insult.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body”

They may have all died, but none of them were in vain. They all made the ultimate sacrifice and it made a difference.

Bill Sadler is such an underrated actor. Perfect for the part of Chesty Puller.

William Forsythe did a great job playing Chesty.

Shane went from this to becoming the punisher to getting murdered by his son during the zombie apocalypse

We need a movie based on the career of Col Puller. There is actually enough content there for a trilogy.

Flipping an insult into a compliment is probably the most American thing ever

"Goodnight Chesty! Wherever you are!"

Germans called em devil dogs, marines have a habit of getting nicknames.

I served in the U.S. Coast Guard way before my time, during the battle of Guadalcanal the Coast Guard saved chesty, he then personally nominated a young 1st class signalman named Douglas Monroe for the Medal of Honor, to this day we have one Medal of Honor recipient and that is because of Chesty, and the corps got to keep one legend of a marine because of the Coast Guard.

Excellent scene, amazing series

Best Quote EVER from Chesty Puller was, "If I want to find a REAL MARINE, I'll Go to the Brig!" He's 💯 on that one. Went twice during My 25 years...1991-2016

One of my favorite Chesty Puller stories is when he came to a marine that had dug a particularly deep foxhole, he told them if he dug any deeper they’d have to charge him with desertion. 😂

I love how Chesty Puller literally demonstrated who he is at the end by pulling at a Marine's chest.
