The 7th Marines show up, greeting the 1st Marines as they pass with Leckie staring on as a sore on his leg is being treated by a corpsman named Stern. The two units exchange friendly insults, followed by LtCol. Lewis "Chesty" Puller's platoon. The men in the 1st Marines happily ask Chesty where he's going, Chesty proudly announces "Tokyo!” Leckie's unit then moves out, all the while having a letter from home read to them by Leckie's friend, Pfc. Sidney "Sid" Phillips (who is also the best friend of Eugene Sledge, another one of the main characters). They discover from the letter that Sid turned 18 two weeks before. Hoosier gives Sid a grenade and starts the birthday song, which the other Marines join in. They sing it twice, with the f-word inserted many times in the latter version.

Male comradery in the midst of chaos is always a beautiful thing.

Lecky was such a lovable character. Not in the sense of charisma. It was more that he was an astute kid in the process of becoming a man. He lets himself be disheartened. He lets himself feel pain and despair. He’s such an interesting counter to sledge. Sledge is a wide eyed kid that believes in the story of the hero. He’s convinced of the his view of ethics and war. And he only sees a dichotomy until the end. It’s this dichotomy that forces him to be either all good, or all evil. In the end he realizes that he is not perfect, and neither can he be. And, in a kind of final commitment to his desire to be moral, he refuses to take in the process that will make things easy for him. In either case, neither lecky or sledge are just bystanders. On the contrary, that’s why their story is so worth to tell. They are aware of themselves and the world around them and don’t check out, but experience it all to it’s core. They are sane men walking in the path of insanity.

7th Marine Regiment arrived on Guadalcanal on September 18, 1942. By that time, the 1st Marine Division had been there for about six weeks, observing the Battle of Savo Island and participating in (sort of, with their aircraft from Henderson Field) the Battle of the Eastern Solomons. They had comprehensively defeated the Ichiki Detatchment at the Battle of the Tenaru and had just fended off another Japanese attack at the Battle of Edson's Ridge. In between, they received daily air raids from Rabaul and regular bombardments from the Tokyo Express as part of their deliveries, while seeing only periodic resupply of their own by one or two ships that had to be gone by nightfall to avoid the Japanese navy.

I like the subtle and overt differences between Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Where BoB feels very much like a bond of brothers going through hell, but you cant help but be motivated all the way through. You see genuine leaders with genuine qualities who love the men under them, and they go to great lengths to watch out for each other. The Pacific has that some brother bond, but its different. Its one where it shows how hellish and terrifying war is. These arent elite Airborne Troopers or some other newly made unit. These are just regular guys in the Infantry. And they are constantly being shown the short end of the stick when they fight. Guadalcanal is possibly the most harrowing, because it sets the pace for just how bad the remainder of the war in the Pacific is going to go... Hellishly Brutal.

Col. Chesty Puller preferred the Springfield 1903 than the M1 Garand. His unit is carrying Springfield 03s, very accurate scene. They regret it later.
