Jonie Broom.

It's mentioned in the very next episode, where Speirs has a pretty prominent role and gives his most badass line to Blithe about how to deal with combat.

As I said, pretty much all but true.

Your grandad is an old son of a bitch.

You're spoiled.

Supposedly, him murdering all those Nazi troopers is pretty much all but true. In the post years, Winters in interviews said that in any other combat situation for an American army, Speirs likely gets court martialed and charged with war crimes, but the Army couldn't spare good officers at the time.

Carentan is like Spielberg and Hanks responding to The Thin Red Line.

I feel like making a construct of a character would be insulting, inventing a member of Easy Company.

Young male actor looking to breakthrough in Hollywood?

He appears enough, in 8 episodes. He's just never the center of attention because the show focuses on 2nd Platoon a lot.

"I don't think that's the correct reply, trooper. I say flash, you say thunder."

About Meehan: Whoever wrote on Wikipedia that Easy knew for sure that Meehan was dead is full of shit. No one knew who was dead and alive during that Operation unless directly witnessed and relayed. Given how badly drop zones were missed no one ruled out men being missing. Since Meehan and HQ died on the plane, no way

Winters bathing at the lake in Austria. That episode just really, really is so dissonant, as the Alps are just gorgeous.

I guess I'm different, because while 5-7 is good, I find episodes 9-10 exceptional, and my favorite, partly because it's just never covered in telemedia. Easy's interaction with the Germans in episode 9, how they were the most American of the liberated people they came across, and everything in that episode I love,

Utah Beach was a pretty easy landing, with a casualty rate of .06 percent.

I believe Buck got 2 Purple Hearts for that as well.

After getting reamed out by Cobb back in England, who, as pointed out by someone I can't remember didn't fight in Normandy either.

Officers, yeah, but your best bet would have been a foot soldier who had been handed down the gun.

To this day there's still a massive argument about the roles of pilots in that Operation. On one side, that they were incompetent and responsible for fucking up the drop zones and everything, the other side saying they did the best they could.

Yeah where is this video game CGI he speaks of, it's so dark I don't know how you could tell.
