YOU PEOPLE

YOU PEOPLE

ARE AT THE POSITION

OF ATTENTION

Remember that time Winter ate Sobel's sandwich?

EASY COMPANY IS RUNNING UP CURRAHEE

RED ROSS

>tfw Gonorrhea calls you Son of Abraham

>tfw you die 20 minutes after you're introduced to the audience

he did nothing wrong and these ingrates just decided to ruin his life

WHAT IS THE GOD DAMN HOLD UP, MR. SOBEL

MAJOR HORTON TOLD ME TO CUT THOSE WIRES SIR

did you read the book, "Semper Fi, Mac", too? They make it even more clear how the mutual hatred of him united Easy Company. He "created" them similarly to how Thulsa Doom created Conan. "Gonorrhea" was the only one to invite him to the reunion but by then the hurt was too deep and he refused. Feelsbadman.

His tough training is why Easy were as good as they were though, surely they all saw that

MAJOR HORTON?

Same as Sixta in Generation Kill.
He would grill everyone about grooming standards and shirt tails, just to keep them from thinking about how fucked the chain of command was.

MAJOR HORTON SIR

except that sixta diddles with kids, so he actually is an asshole who deserves death.

you fuckers just going to go and make me watch this series for the 5th time.

And when you're done you'll thank us because you can never not enjoy BoB.

except for the SHOA episode

I forgot about that shit.
The real Sixta, not Neal Jones.

MAJOR HORTON
MAJOR HORTON TOLD YOU TO CUT THAT FENCE

MAJOR HORTON IS ON LEAVE, IN LONDON

PIVOOOOOT

Will we ever see a war tv show as good as this or unsere mutter

and what the fuck happened to that third series the BoB guys were making about the air force

still being made I think

watching atm for the first time

badda bing

>IRL Sobel spent the rest of life as alone and then shot himself

welp

No one went to his funeral. Not one person.

Meanwhile Winters' funeral was attended by like 3000 people.

...

ITT: poor casting.

Did he swallow a Weinstein load for this ?

He was great as Sobel though.
ur dum

I think he was pretty convincing in the role of guy who tried to be tough and intimidating while not actually knowing what he's doing

loved this show.

this just shows that the greatest heroes get the least attention

SHUT UP

>poor casting
Spears is the only one I thought could have been cast better.

Wut?

Did you mean to post James McAvoy with that?

CONTRABAND.

This. He was Ross in the military, and it was perfect.

>while not actually knowing what he's doing

He didn't know shit about actually leading men in combat, but he was elite at TRAINING raw recruits into soldiers.

Im a plumber in PA. Winters is buried where I grew up. A few years back I was on a job at a customers house when i spotted a C-47 magnet. So I ask the guy.
>"you fly one of these?"
>"you know band of brothers?"
>"yeah"
>"im one of them"

Turns out it was Rod Strohl. We ended up talking for a while after that. He shocked me when he said Sobel was a great leader, and Winters was a bitch. He said that everyone wanted Winters because he wasnt a Jew. He also said that Winters was a glory hound and was an ass kisser. Claimed he never said "follow me" and that during Bastonge Winters was constantly hanging out at Battalion CP staying warm. He mentioned that Gonorrhea was one of the only few that actually liked Sobel like him. He said that Limpton was kinda stupid and ass kissed Winters hard.

>mfw spaghetti day at work

CHRISTENSON, WHY IS THERE NO WATER IN YOUR CANTEEN?

Did he say anything about Liebgott?
best boy

HEEIIGGHH HOO SIILVEERRRRRRRR

you realize he's a son of abraham?

Holy shit, thanks for posting this. Never knew that Winters was a dick.

He wasn't though.

>so many young actors who went on to have huge careers after this
>meanwhile the guy who played Malarkey is in that Orville garbage

That's every senior enlisted shithead ever.

I hate going back and watching shows with such a large ensemble and see now famous actors who had bit parts .. ,. their bit parts now overshadow the shows like BoB, especially if they have now gone full blown hollywood and have shit mainstream fame now.

Like and McCavoy

No, not that I recall. He talked about Gonorrhea, Malarkey, Muck&Pink, a couple of other names I dont remember.
He said Gonorrhea could really drink, and that they partied pretty hard in Philly after Strohl came home from Europe.

>you will never get shit faced and chase girls in a white Philadelphia with a one-legged Wild Bill

is that the pivot guy from Friends?

Simon Pegg with an american accent kills me

Wow, that's actually pretty interesting. It kind of makes me sad seeing how no one even bothered to visit his funeral service.

Luz was best boy

Maybe the guy just had a personal grudge against Winters for some reason. Not saying Winters couldn't have been a dick pun absolutely intended, but with things like this you'll never really know the truth since you're relying on countless different opinions and stories from countless different people. Some say he was great, some say he was a cunt, and you'll never really know.

I just googled to see if was lying and found pic related.

Mustve rocked the boat on their narrative too much they gave his story to someone else.

In 1970, Sobel shot himself in the head with a small-caliber pistol.[10] The bullet entered his left temple, passed behind his eyes, and exited out the other side of his head. This severed his optic nerves and left him blind.[10] He was later moved to a VA assisted living facility in Waukegan, Illinois. He resided there for his last seventeen years until his death due to malnutrition on 30 September 1987.[11][10] No services were held for him after his death.[10]

...

How do you fuck up shooting yourself in the head?

>WEEKEND PASS REVOKED

IN LONDON??

THREE MILES UP

The Pacific sucked

Could THIS be any more of a BoB thread?

Could a wild bear shit in the woods?

why was sobel gonna leave with the men he was training. was some other officer gonna come in and train the new recruits. where are these recruit trainers getting trained. its a weird set up

who cares about unimportant stuff like that

fuck

>emphasising the wrong word intentionally
REEE

someone shop some anime into this

you fall for the gun to the temple meme

wouldn't it be better to shoot the heart

at least if you miss there you don't end up with brain damage

>"Hey look, Ross is doing his drill instructor bit"

the best way to kill yourself is to Kurt Cobain it with a shotgun to the noggin

normies ruin everything

Wasn't there supposed be a series about the Army Air Corps or the African theatre made by the BoB/Pacific/SPvtR studio?

yeah

I don't think you know what you are talking about user, sorry.

Reminder that LT dike was given the Bronze star for rescuing men under fire and was only relieved of command because he got shot during the attack.
tl:dr. Ambrose was a hack.

...

Who was General "Fucking" Motors? Never heard of him.

>Pegg

was literally everybody in BoB?

>tfw Malarkey died a few days ago.


Feels sad man

Rust on the butt-plate hinge, Private Bullshit. Revoked.

My favorite episodes are the first and the last, not the actual war.

>almost made it to 100 years old
Was he the only one still alive?
Yes

He was one of the very few Toccoa men left, I think there's 15 or fewer E company veterans still going iirc

>these men went to war in their early 20s
Can you imagine the 20 year olds of today going to war

Fuck I'm 25 and I can't picture myself in that scenario

I remember watching World at War and one of the Marine veterans said he was 17 when he land on Iwo Jima. Really makes you put things into perspective

Erich Hartmann became the biggest fighter ace in history at like 22

Times really have changed

well, see, our country was attacked. It's so different. It wasn't like tumblr wars or instagraming food pics, we was attacked. Now maybe we were just dumb country people but a lot of us volunteered

Yeah can you imagine growing up into a world of fear & conflict where the moment you become a "man" you're thrown into the bloodiest war in human history to be nothing but fodder for the elites and told to come out the other side proud?

I feel so sorry for those poor fucks, they came out strong but I don't think they came back with a clear head of where the world should go.

There can't be many things worse politically than being drafted to die in someone else' war.

Unironically a cool story, user

That was exactly my point

Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

We were still a vastly homogenous country and weren't three generations deep into marxist indoctrination. People protesting against WW2 or calling for the President to be killed would have been shot.

Hell people that wouldn't stand for the national anthem at baseball games were shot on sight by people and applauded.

I like to watch through BoB, then The Pacific then Generation Kill, kino after kino after kino

Spiers was too handsome.
