Re: I agree

But I don't think the series was to focus so much on the characters as the action and the devastation of human life. Few war movies focus on anything but the "action". I can't think of one. Maybe Private Ryan.

I have one. The story of my father's death during the last half of the war. Not a combat but a love story. I have many, many love letters from him to my mother before his plane crash off Hawaii while attempting to get as many aircraft to Guam as possible. An entirely different story than the action movies.
