Wow. Basilone is nuts. After watching this episode, I promptly began looking up recipients of the medal of honor, and it seems like they all have that in common. Being completely crazy. Capturing soldiers unarmed, holding positions by themselves, blowing up tanks single handedly, very much like Basilone running into line of fire to make sure that his gunners had a clear shot. Unfortunate that Manny died, he was one of the four actors I'd seen anywhere else, and probably my favorite of those 4. I can only assume Basilone is going to die by the end of the show, as he seems to have so many demons I can't see him surviving, and if he does survive, I bet his PTSD will get him. I liked this episode better than the first.
