If you wanna see a modern day war mini-series. You could check out generation kill. It's really good. It follows a US marine recon battalion in Iraq.

I know there is a lot on the table but as others have said, The Pacific is amazing and a must watch.

Saving Private Ryan was a film about the ground troop invasion of Normandy starring Tom Hanks. That movie, especially the graphic Omaha Beach scene, reminded a new generation of the bravery and sacrifice that those soldiers faced to secure our freedom.
Tom Hanks wanted to pay tribute to the airborne divisions that paved the way for the ground invasion so he produced this mini series, Band of Brothers.
After BOB he produced The Pacific, about the heroics in the Pacific Theater.

I played baseball in Holland after college and any time I'd ask about WW2 they'd always say their family was in the resistance... but I knew at least half of them were lying... I mean, someone had to snitch on Anne Frank.

My Great Grandfather immigrated to America from Denmark when he was 7. When he was 14 he lied about his age on his enlistment paper and shipped out to WW1.
There's a good chance that happened a lot in WW2. Some of those fresh recruits were high school aged. Birth Certificates, if available, were easily forged.

He would geek out over the "one-shot" cinematography in 1917.

The "where do I know him from" is James McAvoy. You have seen him as young Professor X, in the X-Men films.

Annnd we're done! Hell's yea Sir. Outstanding! If I didn't smoke grass , I would need my Xanax before each episode. I really liked the fact that this episode dealt with FNG's.(Fuckin new guys) It's more common in the Vietnam films I have seen than WW2. Another powerful episode. As for more War films , I say 110% yes. Gotta stick with my previous recommendations of Black Hawk Down - 2001 - Director - Ridley Scott - Somalia , 1993. And one of the least reacted to Vietnam films , (However , much more accurate than most others. ) Hamburger Hill - 1987. Based on a real battle , and it stays with 1 platoon for the duration of the film. Brutal , and moving. As always Sir , thanks for the amazing reaction! Be back tomorrow! Peace (I need ta watch something fun , wholesome , an chock full 'o' gore now! AHHA! Cocaine Bear! Been a while and perfectly fun and also based on a true story! : ]

It was very common for soldiers to go AWOL from medical bays to find their way back to their unit to fight. The guy in this episode was fine. He just couldn't sit. He was shot in the butt
