[edit] Black people

Mention why there are no black people in the movie. Jidanni 16:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

First, this isn't different from most war films from that era. Second, according to Desegregation#Desegregation in the military, army units didn't become integrated until the Korean War. Clarityfiend 22:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Wayne's Character

Just my opinion- the death of Wayne's character at the end of the film was an essential event that highlighted the fact good men died at Iwo Jima, not just the extras or minor characters of life, for there were none there of that type. 71.114.163.55 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 05:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
