Episode ten where Sledge is whimpering and thrashing in bed from nightmares, and his parents are just standing outside his door. I'm not even a parent, but just the thought of the helplessness you'd feel seeing your little boy go through that had me bawling.

Right after the baby scene where Sledge finds the mortally wounded woman and has a moment of regaining some of his humanity and instead of shooting her, even though she wanted him to, cradles her until she dies.

When they are carrying Ack Ack down through the lines of soldiers after having been killed. The reactions of all of the men, the despair and sadness of having lost their leader. I thought it was a wonderfully done scene.

just about every battle scene, when they really amped up the intensity of the fighting, surpassed almost anything i've seen on a screen.
as for the noncombat scenes:
-the one that made me physically cringe was the screaming baby scene. any dad knows that noise, but hearing and seeing it in that context was intense.
-the scene with the other baby, held by the mom who desperately is trying to get one of the marines to take it because she knows she's going to blow up and wants to save her baby's life.
-bergin hugging his younger brother after getting off the train.
-sledge hugging his parents.
-sledge trying to get the maggots off him after falling in the hole next to the decomposing body.
-leckie's line, "you're breaking up with me because you think i'm going to get killed," stood out.
-and of course the tossing rocks into the open head scene.
