2021-10-05 15:51:39 +0000 UTCThank you, Catherine! It must have been so tough for those like Leckie to be still there while others were rotated home. I completely agree! I imagine John feels guilt in leaving his men. Wow! I hadn't put together those repercussions. All things I could never understand, but just the smallest thing can have such a horrific impact. -Sam

2021-05-28 02:16:58 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, both of you! This is a slow burn, as it starts off lightly with John’s experience stateside, and ends with the brutal amphibious beach landing. Sid was rotated home as they only sent those with clean records back to the States, so Leckie and his buddies did not get to go. You can definitely see the difference between Sid and Eugene while they’re talking on the beach - Sid has been hardened by the war. Sam is right in suspecting that John will grow tired of being a celebrity- it’s already clear he’s uncomfortable with posing for the camera. He probably feels guilty about leaving his men behind. Failing to clean those drums properly will have dire consequences for the men on Pelelui, as it’s a hot, dry island. It’s made of coral, so there’s a white dust over everything and the ground is too hard to dig for foxholes or graves, so the stench of the dead permeated everywhere, especially in 100+ degree weather. “It was 120 degrees in the shade. We did not fight in the shade” - Eugene Sledge.
