Umm, Todd this is real. When Easy company was fighting in Europe, the pacific war was going, and the war ended before they could be transferred
So there would be no crossover

jeff I KNOW that, but that does not mean you can't use cast members? The war was real, the show is NOT.

Also, the actors chosen for the roles in the original BOB were selected not only on ability, but a resemblance to the actual soldiers at the time. Ron Livingston, for instance, looked pretty close to the actual Lewis Nixon.

I wonder if they'll cover the suicides of dozens of women and children when the marines landed on Okinawa? They all jumped off a cliff, with the helpless marines watching from below -- they truly believed that the marines were coming to rape them all.

I really hope they include the Okinawa landings if the above is true.
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Karl_Luph: The Japanese propaganda machine was just as sickening and cruel as our own. In addition, their media was more state-run than ours, so the people believed many rumors, among those was that American soldiers were rapacious beasts willing to kill and rape (not necessarily in that order).
Any more news on this series? Confirmations from Stomeve Spanksberg, HBO, etc.?
