Those were different times...interesting that in tonight's episode, we learned that the first time the US public actually saw a picture of American casualties was in mid-1943 when "Life Magazine" published a photo of three dead soldiers on the beach at Tarawa - the theory during Vietnam was that so many turned against the war because they had a "constant diet" of pictures of the dead and wounded on the TV every night, but back in WWII when FDR insisted that a newsreel showing more of the slaughter at Tarawa be shown around the country, it only inflamed the public and made them more determined -"then we really wanted to go and kill Japs - excuse me for saying so" said one interviewee - different times indeed......

I’ve seen the numerous posts about ‘The War’ being slowed paced. I got the same impression in the first episodes. But, now I’m beginning to adjust to the pace of the production and am enjoying the chain of information. The wealth of info is impressive. Too bad about ‘Babe’ and his loss during the Anzio break out.

I think I will be watching every episode, As many Americans as possible need to see this.

They might take a second look and think about the unity we had in WWII, and contrast that to the way things are now...And tire of it...Hopefully
