UPDATE: I hate to do this again, but the early reaction has been delayed til' tomorrow (Thursday) - my computer keeps freezing and rebooting, and I can't stay awake any more. Hopefully I can get it out and still do the scheduled Avatar reaction as well, but if not, then I will of course let you guys know asap. Sorry y'all.

The Marines move further into the mountains, where they suffer a lot of losses. This one was certainly the toughest to watch so far..

Great reaction, gentlemen. This is the episode where I get all weepy. When they carried Capt. Haldane past his men, and Burgin salutes him, well, let’s say I needed a lot of Kleenex. Sledge wrote that of all the death and destruction, seeing his friends killed, the loss of his Captain was the worst grief he suffered in the entire war. And after that, he changed. He wanted to take that dead Japanese soldier’s teeth or something, because they took from him. He wrote that losing Captain Haldane was like losing a father. Even though Ack Ack was a young man, not even 10 years older than the rest of them, he guided them, kept them focused and calm. Sledge wrote that he made them feel like they were still human beings, not just cogs in a war machine. So by losing him, Sledge felt that a part of his humanity died. When I was in grade school, I remember a poem we read by Walt Whitman, called “O Captain, My Captain”: O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain My Captain was about the death of Abraham Lincoln at the end of the civil war, in which Whitman was a medical aide

Really enjoying watching along with you guys. I never could make it through episode 10 when it was first aired, the episode is about life after the war and its just too much.

The Japanese snipers specifically went after stretcher bearers, and the wounded men lying in the stretchers, for the the psychological effect. This episode does a lot to show how fighting against the Japanese style of fighting degrades the soldiers humanity. I’ve previously mentioned the “Pacific vs With the Old Breed” videos on YouTube, which composes the scenes from the show with an audio version of Sledge’s book, and there are a ton from this episode, from the bunker scene to AckAck and Hillbilly’s deaths. It really adds a lot, the scene at the end on the boat with Gunny Haney is particularly fleshed out in the book. Sledge knew Haney had been involved in the heaviest US fighting in WW1, and asked him how Peleliu compared, expecting a gruff “that wasn’t shit” answer, but Gunny Haney said that Peleliu was the worst shit he ever saw.
