Aber ich muss sagen, dass der echte Tod von Basilone so wie auf Wikipedia beschrieben noch ungefähr um den Faktor 100 mehr badass ist als das was sie in der Serie gezeigt haben.
Ohne Spaß - der Teil aus der Wiki liest sich wie ne Seite aus nem Rambo-Skript. Krasser Typ.

Und für die die jetzt zu faul zum selbst aufrufen sind:

After his request to return to the fleet was approved, he was assigned to Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Marine Regiment, 5th Marine Division during the invasion of Iwo Jima. On February 19, 1945 he was serving as a machine-gun section leader in action against Japanese forces on Red Beach II. During the battle, the Japanese concentrated their fire at the incoming Americans from heavily fortified blockhouses staged throughout the island. With his unit pinned down, Basilone made his way around the side of the Japanese positions until he was directly on top of the blockhouse. He then attacked with grenades and demolitions, single handedly destroying the entire strongpoint and its defending garrison. He then fought his way toward Airfield Number 1 and aided an American tank that was trapped in an enemy mine field under intense mortar and artillery barrages. He guided the heavy vehicle over the hazardous terrain to safety, despite heavy weapons fire from the Japanese. As he moved along the edge of the airfield, an exploding mortar shell instantly killed him. For his actions during the battle of Iwo Jima, he was posthumously approved for the Marine Corps' second highest decoration for bravery, the Navy Cross.

Naja war ja kein Zufall, sondern das schlechte Karma weil sie den vielredenden Waffenhändler so mies behandelt haben.
