Have Eugene Sledge played by Hugh Jackman. They could show how fun it was to be in the Marines, killing Japanese. Maybe at the end they could have a real cool pilot with a popped collar bombardiers jacket and aviators on played by somebody like David Caruso. When he is about to hit the switch to drop Little Boy he can tilt down his aviators looking right into the camera and say "Astra la vista baby!".

I'm so glad they didn't dumb this series down or jazz it up to appeal to Joe Six Pack.

ugh, unbearable post.
