I finished watching the last "episode" last night, and wow. There was alot of deep stuff in this miniseries. I think the American Japanese only platoon was the bravest of all, and the most noble of all. They were recruited from internment camps and wanted to prove their loyalty to the country. Some of the unneccessary battles they were put through were utterly horrible. Hearing the vets talk about fighting on the ground in Europe and in the Pacific was absolutely stunning. There were part's that nearly made me cry, it was that incredible.

Ken Burns made a great film and timed it right, 1000 WW2 veterans a day are dying in the USA. If you are lucky enough to know a vet of the war talk to them and ask them about their experiences while you still can. Salute them too. I will be ordering the box set of this for sure so I can watch it again.

that was amazing, the greatest part was there was no glorification of war, but the actions and convictions of the soldiers were so friggin noble. it brought the uncertainty of survival and the fear back into that war.

I actually watch a bit of it. They replayed it a couple of times and I half-watched the another one a few minutes ago. Remember this video was mostly from the American perspective, with American veterans, with few European and others. Very touching wars.
