I love how at the end of the Pacific, the Cab driver does not charge Leckie saying "I might have Parachuted on D-day, but at least I got London and Paris. All you Gyrenes got was mud and disease"

I always thought the water-cooled .30 cal was the perfect machine gun against Japanese human wave attacks.

I grew up not far from Raratian New Jersey. The bronze statue of John Basalone is something I'll never forget.

Interesting choice of a film segment of one of the sidewheeler carriers that sailed the great lakes training naval aviators learning to take off and land on a carrier in the protected great lakes waters.

Sam Colt may have won the west, but John Browning saved the world! What an ingenious American icon!

Thousands of dead bodies, many of them blown apart, others badly mangled, in tropical heat and moisture. Millions of flies feeding on them. The stench was so bad it made battle hardened marines puke.

The crew of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln should be ashamed after they complained about being at sea too long.

The best line in this whole video isn't about the guns. It's the part where you stop and point at one word in the citation. "Contributing." Most channels would have skipped straight past it to get to the body count. That single word is the difference between history and a highlight reel.
