One's own mistakes and guarantees in war

One of the main reasons for watching American war movies is the truth. Especially in the war environment, comrades-in-arms sacrifice, and encounter the tension and depression brought by the enemy at any time. Individuals express fear, vulnerability and tension.

The man who wanted to seize a Krupp pistol, which went off in his trouser pocket, pierced through his aorta and died.

In episode 8, when crossing the river to capture the prisoners, the soldier who rushed in after dropping the bomb was injured by his own grenade and died.

In episode 4 or episode 3, the newly appointed company commander was chatting on the extension railway, and was wounded by the oncoming sentinel and immediately laid off.

In episode 6, the useless company commander, although everyone looked down on him, Li Pu also specifically asked the battalion commander to report that the company commander was not good, but there was no solution. In the end, the company commander was caught in a circle during the charge and did not dare to move forward, killing many brothers.

It seems that at the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd episode, one person was injured by his own fire. These are normal things in the tense state of war. But we rarely see these in our movies.

The TV series also saw the war guarantees of the German and American armies. Food, clothing, bullets, medical aid, etc. Before almost every war, there are reminders to replenish the supply level. It seems to be graded. Therefore, the battlefield is almost full of inexhaustible bullets, as well as the fire support of various cannons and grenades. Even so, from the experience of the e company, every war was fought very hard, and the Netherlands was driven away by the German army. Under this kind of strength, compared with our anti-Japanese drama, it should be that the Japanese army's security level should be close to that of the German army. What about our Eighth Route Army? What about the guerrillas? The song of the guerrillas was sung without food or clothing. The enemy sent it forward without guns or cannons. The enemy built it for us, not to mention medical care and rescue. How to fight this kind of battle? How can you defeat the Japanese army? After watching this film, you should have a deeper understanding of the arduous Anti-Japanese War that year, and you should have a deeper understanding of the outcome of the war.

Look at the medics on the battlefield of the US military. Although they do not fight, they are running around to save people in the hail of bullets. They are very professional and brave, like fighting a war. In addition, the wounded were continuously sent to the rear hospital. In the sixth episode, even if the 101 division is trapped, there is still a small hospital saving people. We should have this service, for example, Bethune is a field hospital, but there is not much performance in the movie. It always felt that the hospital was far away from the battlefield, as if it was in the rear. There is a description of the hospital in Youth.

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
