Sledge's book is amazing. I haven't watched Band of Brothers or The Pacific because not being a Yankee I assume the flag-waving that Tom Hanks and company would shoehorn in there would not be my cup of tea (could be wrong, let me know).

If The Pacific was anything close to With The Old Breed, I doubt it would be shown on American television, it would be too dark, violent and nightmarish for even cable TV.
