I don't think so... that's the name of Borgnine's character... doubt that it was based on a real guy

Yeah, I know what the name is a reference to.... I just did a double take when I saw that because I always assumed it was a fictitious person.

It is a fictitious person, just like 90+% of the other names in the game (every pilot and ship captain is named, FFS)..  Just a bit of unexpected humor, that's all.

Why didn't they research the game? Surely the names of all men who served in the Pacific are available in the records?
