Has anyone been watching HBO's WWII mini-series, "The Pacific?" It was produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Each episode begins with a brief interview with a real WWII vet, then the series begins. It is a fictionalized account based on the memoirs of several Marines. The last episode aired this past weekend... all I can say about the series is WOW.

Whereas the Band of Brothers series was about the European conflict and focused more on the relationships of those guys, this series is about the war in the Pacific and really focuses more on the way it was and the hell that is war and what happens to each of the characters as time goes on.

They will be replaying the entire series on Memorial Day weekend. It's worth a watch.
