Sinise is one of those very few actors with their heads screwed on right. Over the past decade (and before that, for that matter), I NEVER heard a false note coming from him.

Can you imagine the same story told by that #@ç!!!!)*$%£µ??:+§###!!!!!!!wad Alec Baldwin?

Of course you can't.

Thank you, Gary Sinese for remembering that the military are the good guys who stand ready to sacrifice all for the fellow Americans.

FULL BORE!

Don't know how this breeze got into my house and blew dust into my eyes. They were watering the whole last half of the video.

That Sinise fella knows how to deliver a story. Fullbore!

Great choice.

One lucky sailor. Those Guadalcanal sea battles were brutal slug fests, absolutely terrifying.

Fullbore.

Would you like to have a good movie about Guadalcanal naval battles? Along the lines of the Battle of Britain or Midway movies, not the Pearl Harbor stuff...
I'd love to!

Lucky sailor, great QC inspector~!

Sinese gets it. One in a thousand in Hollywood, oh, wait - he's in New York.

OF, right on.  While Marines slap the table and scream "remember Guadalcanal," it should really be the Navy who does that.  We lost a whole lot more folks in Ironbottom Sound than they did on that island of death.

AOD.

The Marines don't slap the table and scream "remember Guadalcanal".  We remember Fletcher left us in the lurch for two weeks.  And it was only the grace of God and Japanese disdain for the Americans that Hyakutake didn't take advantage of the situation to land most of two divisions of his own on Guadalcanal. 

For that, the Marines' disdain for Fletcher is well placed.  As was Turner's.

And, I might add, the Navy certain should say "remember Guadalcanal".  The entire operation was Ernie King's idea.

Hell, if the Navy remembered and taught their history to its junior officers and sailors even half as well as the Marine Corps teaches its Marines, you wouldn't have the "Global Force for Good" horse sh*t, and sailors would know how to handle small arms.

Man, that dust is everywhere.
