One other thing i'll add is i'm glad this series was made.
For my generation, we got to see a ton of stuff about the European Theater of war and it was always portrayed as a very valiant and noble war. A way where the allies are fighting to defend Europe from a tyrant country. A war to save many civilians for terror. A war that many of us would probably volunteer to fight in based on its portrayal.
The Pacific Theater has been portrayed in the exact opposite light. This is a war for pieces of useless rocks against a fanatical enemy that would do anything to kill you. Sheet terror, always wet and muddy and always miserable. Life not worth living almost.
I find the differences interesting.
