Yea. But it just hard-cut from honeymoon to combat with no actual context. Just mho

They showed some, with him getting the other group that was bunched up by the tank, telling them to get the tank to follow him and all

Forgot he he died. 🥲 looked it up. They actually honeymooned at Oregon onion farm, not the beach. I just wish they’d have shown the impact he made in Iwo Jima. They cut all that out. That’s disappointing, because apparently he made serious inroads.

Every single Marine knows who John Basilone is. The next episode is even worse, just the most brutal campaign our troops fought in the Pacific. The Okinawa Campaign is what lead us to dropping the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was so bad on Okinawa, and our leadership knew the loss of life would be even worse if we invaded mainland Japan so they decided to use the atom bombs instead to try and force Japan into peace talks. It sounds terrible to say, but those atom bombs actually saved way more lives than what would have been lost if there was a ground campaign on mainland Japan.

Beautiful and sensitive reaction as always, thanks, Nikki and Steven. Lena Basilone lived to be 86 years old and never remarried.
