There's no indication in the scene that he wanted the gold teeth for himself, only upset at Sledge going down that path himself.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Snafu basically a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, or a BloodKnight? The biggest example is when [[spoiler: Eugene is about to cut out gold teeth from a dead Japanese soldier]] and Snafu talks him into not doing it by bringing up diseases. Did he actually think that, was it because he wanted to do it himself, or was it because he didn't want Sledge to go down the same road he did? If it was the last one, did he not state it because he wanted to hide it from Eugene, or because he wanted to hide it from himself?

** It has to be a case of ArtisticLicense that Sledge's best friend Sid Phillips ends up in the same company as Leckie, right? The odds of these two famous memoirists being so closely connected is basically zero, right? Well, Phillips and Leckie really did both serve in H/2/1 of the 1st Marine Division. Whether Sledge and Leckie ever met during the war as episode 5 portrays it is not as likely, but Sid's inclusion in the Leckie storyline was actually not that unrealistic.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The show generally manages to keep this to a minimum, at the very least. Everything is ''so'' brutal, ''so'' muddy and shitty, and just so goddamned ''miserable'' that it is in no way glorious or jingoistic; it even does a good job of shining a light on whether or not a few of these combat actions were even really ''necessary'' or being commanded competently (the Peleliu section is heavy with this). The only real exception are scenes involving John Basilone, and, well, the guy was inspiring to his own men in real life, so it's hard for him to not come across as completely amazing. [[spoiler:Even he gets unceremoniously cut down at the end of episode 8, though, to the horror of just about everyone, his men included.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: The Japanese love to launch night assaults, pouring out of the dark jungles right at the tired Marines. They also frequently sent small teams of infiltrators to kill sleeping Marines in their foxholes.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: First episode: Guadalcanal, Tenaru. The literal mountains of Japanese dead seems ridiculously excessive, like an action movie. But it really happened just like that. The Japanese lost over 700 men at night, in that one sandbar. The Marines only lost 44.
** The second episode has a similar massacre take place. Much like the first example, the Japanese really did take that heavy amount of casualties.

** Gunney Haney, helped by being a borderline out of his mind badass. It starts with the scene of him ''yelling at the sky'' when the rain squall he was using as a shower comes to a sudden end before he was finished, and just keeps building from there.
