    Band of Brothers is so incredibly good that people overlook The Pacific. But it makes for hugely compelling viewing as well and is well worth your time

    As a Marine infantryman in my younger years, ol’ Johnny B dropping bodies and burning his hands on the gun is something we all looked up to. The man did what needed to be done.

    Some of that war hero propaganda never goes away. Even after experiencing war and how fucked up it is. Guys like him still stand tall as inspirational pillars to me.

    Like I know better now as a 33 year old father who never wants to be violent again, but he still makes me want to charge up a hill.
