  1. I think Sobel's abilities are overrated. Other units produced similar results without the overbearing and denigration.

  2. When the town is named after your family. It's big news.....

  3. Why would a staff officer need to fire a rifle? That pretty much explains things.

  4. He's battalion intelligence through much of the war. He's not in command of a platoon. Therefore, not in a position to be shooting anything.

  5. @mrscuba1693  His primary job is not shooting. That is what you paid riflemen to do.

  8. You didn't comment on any inaccuracy. The video is what it is.

  9. Not everyone shares your opinion. Even those he served with. Thus he was demoted.

  10. Your correction is noted, but veering into nitpicky. It could have been reworded better.

  11. ​ @charlesgantz5865 If it will make you all feel better? We can go back and just say; the E company of the 506 PIR is known as, "The Band of Brothers."

  12. It would be argued that the order comes down through the Battalion S2 to the Company Commander. Nixon is part of the chain of command of the regiment.

  13. Dramatized for story purposes is common. This is not a word for word, day by day retelling of events.

  14.  @rickyspanish9002  do you people want a miniseries or a PBS special? A HBO miniseries is not a Ken Burns documentary....

  15.  @rickyspanish9002  feel free to make your own documentary then. You are trying to condense several years of war; into a few hours of programming. No one is sitting through 4 hours of, "Gone with the Wind." Events are going to be edited. People, places or battles will be Composites of events. Lines spoken are not to be considered word for word. And dramatic license will be taken in a non-documentary.

  16.  @rickyspanish9002  other than the accounts of Major Winters, what are you basing this on?

  17.  @rickyspanish9002  And why are you even bashing Ambrose? It is a film adaptation of his books. He's not writing the screenplay? A producer or Director.

  18. ​That would be a violation of the ban on chemical weapons.

  21. @badgerattoadhall  he didn't have to go to the paratroopers. He could have stayed home and run the factory. 🏭
