No doubt. I actually had a nightmare from that, and the last time I had a nightmare from something I saw on TV was probably 9/11.
Overall, I too have noticed that lack of fluidity between episodes (and sometimes within episodes) that is one of the biggest differences between the Pacific and BOB.
I think that the larger time frame, and the high % of casualties inherent to this front in WWII are the real causes of this, and not the writing. The writers could easily just focus on the characters that made it through unscathed, and narrow the time frame to make this series less disjointed, but I do think that they are using the medium as the message here - by attempting to make the viewing audience feel some semblance of the soul crushing confusion and trauma experienced by these men.
