I have copies of both series and some. I read 'With The Old Breed' and 'Helmet For My Pillow' which are the two books that 'Pacific' was based on. I found the series pretty true to the books. I think Pacific was a story similar to 'Red Dawn'or 'Fighter Pilot's Story' (a PBS series) which tells the sad story of literal kids who go to war and are unwittingly, by circumstance of survival, turned into cold killing machines. I can never understand how anyone can be exposed to such events and later go on to lead normal lives. I have always liked movies (even American Graffiti and Animal House) that end by showing a short blurb of what happened to these people in later life. Most (of the real characters) turn out OK. For those "antique vehicle" people among you; look in the back ground of the Pacific scene where they are scrubbing out the 55 gallon drums. The jeep back there is a CJ-3. No live rear axles.
