mota's relative chastity compared to the pacific is interesting. like obviously the pacific is very interested in the body - characters sweat, they piss and shit themselves, they get sores and blisters, we see them showering and cleaning themselves whenever they can - so sex and jerking off etc is another part of that experience. which i guess if this is going anywhere, it's interesting in that mota is so sterile to some degree, there's the beautiful sweeping music as we look at beautiful hero shots of the planes, when everyone's messed up after a mission, it's still in that hollywood tousled look, and this extends to sex, despite being made 10 years after the pacific - it's something the characters do, but we don't see it and it's all very chaste when it happens. these guys are like icons rather than people.

Feb. 3, 1945 BERLIN: Rosenthal and his crew bailed out after bombs away over Berlin. Rosenthal landed just east of the Oder River among Russian ground forces, and was transported to Moscow. Upon return to England in late March, he requested return to Flight Operations, but 100th BG Commander refused - Rosie had to quit at 52 missions. (source / source)
