Hello;

     Did anyone catch the coverage of this new mini-series on "The Pacific" that was on TV 101 /Direct TV? This was on Monday night @ 9pm.  Most of the night was recaps of Band of Brothers making and a half hour preview of "The Pacific". If what I saw was an indication, our concerns of "racism" may not be a problem since in the 1 scene it showed 2 Marines trying to help a wounded Jap that only suckered them closer and blew them and himself up with a grenade.

I for one have no racism concerns with this series. I just want it to be as historically correct as possible. Screw the political correctness. I prefer it show what really happened in telling the true story of these great Americans.

Look at the first 10 minutes or so of "Saving Private Ryan", They will get the important parts right.

Way OT, but did any of you guys ever see Hell in the Pacific with Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin?  Came out in the late '60's.  Nothing was dubbed or subtitled.  Lee spoke only English and Mifune spoke only Japanese.  I saw it while in Japan on R&R from a minor police action somewhat south of there.  Audience was all Japanese except for me and my running mate, Eddie Jimenez.  We were the only two who laughed when Lee peed on Mifune from his position up a tree.  We quit laughing in milliseconds when 500 pairs of eyes suddenly stared at us in the dark. 

What a movie.

That is all.  As you were.
