Now Bill Belichick to Narrate a WWII Documentary
- Thread starter Al Zarilla
- Start date
I always thought the Air Force didn't exist until 1947, but when Bill Belichick says this:
More seriously, yes, I will be watching this.
We may need to rewrite our history books.
More seriously, yes, I will be watching this.
"and if you slow down the reel right here... you can see this is where the Zero fighter gets beat"
"Hiroo Onoda, now there's a man who knew how to do his job."
"It's all about situational war-waging, guys. Launch the strike too late or too early, and those carriers are never sunk."

"Go ask Poland and France."
"I'm a football coach, not a nuclear physicist. They don't call plays, I don't try to split the atom. We have a great deal here."

LOOK, ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS KILL THE GERMANS, FELLAS. IT'S NO MYSTERY. JUST GO OUT THERE AND EXECUTE THEM.
"Jesus Christ, I could go get Johnny Foxboro down the street and he could shoot better than that. When the fuck are we going to do something right."
I can't believe he's willing to discuss WWII at all, he should be focused on the next matchup, WWIII
Wait for the episode where he goes into a 45-minute discussion about the use of the trebuchet in military history.
"The Germans excel in all three phases of the game *snort*. Air, ground, and sea. *lip smack*."
"Bill, do you..."
"We're on to Berlin".
"Bill, do you..."
"We're on to Berlin".
Or when he goes off on the meteorologists for screwing up the D-day weather forecasts.
Technically speaking it was the U.S. Army Air Force until 1947, but functionally during the war it was a separate service whose commanding general reported directly to the Army Chief of Staff, so the perception is understandable and similar to how the Marines are thought of as an autonomous branch and not as part of the U.S. Navy.
Custer- "I just cant get these Guys to fight the way I need them too".
Lee When asked about the loss of Jackson- "We will fight the war with the troops we have on the field"
Nimitz after Pearl Harbor- "We are on to Midway". When asked about the loss of the battleships "We are on to Midway". When asked about the loss of the Philippines "We are on to Midway".
Macarthur on the deck of the Missouri- "I have to give all the credit to the soldiers. We have great soldiers and they fought tough."

[on Pearl Harbor] "Well, sure. Last time, you know, they came to our place...we got beat, absolutely. They did some things, saw some things in our defense..."
"Well, look, The Americans have a tough bit coming up fighting the Italians. You know, their record might not reflect it, but the Italians have a really strong ground game, and you know, lots of history there. Lots of respect for everything those people have achieved. You know, the Roman Empire really invented organized, mix-unit tactics..."
From the article in the first post:
.... are they really making a movie about the last two years of Brady's life? How will they know what life is like in the year 2156 when President of the Universe Brady finally decides to abandon his nutrition and fitness regimen?
"Fellas, we weren't excited to be in this war. Look, here McArthur makes a great flanking maneuver, but does anyone go and give him a resupply of munitions or supplies? Nope. Just onto the next island..."
Does this make Rex Herman Goering?
"Can we not drop bombs whenever the fuck we want to? Let's make sure we fight like the fucking German military, and not some slapstick team. Do we understand what I want to see tomorrow? Let's go eat a goddamn snack."
Edited to say, this thread is absolutely glorious

Just to clarify, although the Marine Corps is within the Department of the Navy, it is not part of the Navy. It is a separate and distinct military service.
Reporter: Bradley's been listed on the injury report every week as "questionable, infantry" since the beginning of the war, why is that?
BB: Look, I don't set the rules. You'll have to talk to the League of Nations about that.
I just hope that they show some footage of the intelligence guys at Pearl Harbor who figured out what "AF" meant, and they photoshop in "Pink Stripes" on their chalkboard.
(i should have first read the article that it was about D-Day...maybe instead when they go on about Patton's fake army, they'll find room for Pink Stripes. Or call it operation "Raven" or "Baltimore"
I just snorted out a mouthful of coffee at work reading this ... ok, now back to decoding Cozybear hacks.
"Coach, how did you feel about the team's celebration after toppling Iwo Jima?"
"We want the team more focused, to be honest. Showboating, taking pictures, putting up flags, all done before the war was over. I don't condone it and I'm going to talk to the team about it."
"But that picture could become iconic, a symbol of everything that was fought for."
"We're on to Okinawa."

Don't even get me started about John Harbaugh's discussion over the "deceptive tactics" used by the Ghost Army leading up to D-Day.
"Eisenhower was not the Mona Lisa Vito of dirigibles, but he knew that blimps were not an option for this operation."
Gotta figure Rommel is BB's WWII equivalent of Ed Reed.
"Just a ton of respect of how he goes about his business. Tactics, strategy, what he accomplished at Gazala. It's just a question of pretty much anything he's commanding, he's good at."

We'll, uh, fight on the beaches, on the, uh, landing grounds, in the fields and, uh, in the streets. Wherever a battle's scheduled.
