    Thank you Keith. Also, in the Factual Errors thing about Sgt. Johnson and his white-handled revolver saying no real Marine would wear something like it in combat--he is wrong. Sgt. Johnson was NOT a combat Marine but an interpreter--which means his job was in intelligence and interrorgating prisoners which means--he spent 99% of his time far behind the lines and would never have been a target for a Japanese Sniper--let alone anything else. Also, folks like Patton and countless others-wore handguns with grips that were customized with Ivory or Sandstone handles.


    PS, after I get me mitts on more stills for Pork Chop Hill, im going to focus on getting some for this movie ;-))

    Quote from The Tennesseean

    I know! I just want it to get a fair shake!!


    It's a great series, and close to my heart. My dad was in the Navy in the South Pacific, and piloted a Higgins Boat - most notably at Okinawa.



    Im a fan of Pacific War stuff-in fact--just watched the Marines best the Japanese in: Halls of Montezuma. ;-))
