The Pacific: Leckie’s Enuresis Diagnosis Explained & What Caused It

As the grittier companion to Tom Hanks’ Band of Brothers, The Pacific often takes on a darker tone than the other World War II miniseries, which can be seen in its storyline about Marine Robert Leckie’s enuresis diagnosis. Private Leckie, who is played by James Badge Dale in the war series, is based on the real Robert Leckie, the war veteran and historian who wrote Helmet for My Pillow. In the series, the character has a condition that’s linked to his time in the perilous Pacific Theater.
