I love the way Major Winters was so focused on the battle and frustrated that he just ignores Colonel Sink and uncharacteristically bellows at a soldier, that soldier being Spiers. And Spiers responded with all the speed and effectiveness of flipping a light switch.

Yup. He knew Spiers' abilities and that he would do what it takes, even at the cost of his own life. And that he would take as many as he could with him while also protecting his men. Winters calling Spiers over and ordering him to take command, while disregarding Sink's orders, is one real life example of someone "breaking the glass in case of emergency".

A battlefield commission is one of the highest honors a combat soldier can receive, in its own way, more prestigious than any medal or decoration. The practice dates back to medieval times when a commoner who had displayed extraordinary valor or performance in battle could be ennobled or knighted in the field.

That’s old world military vernacular but used often in movies. I guarantee if a private used “sarge” or “Cap” (especially “cap”), they would get destroyed

Spears is probably the most intimidating supporting character that has ever been put to film/television besides Heath Ledger's Joker... Seriously! Maybe a few Daniel Day Lewis (No television to my knowledge) and Bryan Cranston's (Best television lead actor in my OPINION!) performances got up there, but the fact that Spears was a relatively minor character just changes everything in terms of character critique! Probably one of the most powerfully written supporting characters in the history of television. The intrigue around his legend of shooting the unarmed German Pow's just added to his character development. And in the end, he ended up coming off as one of the most mysterious, but at the same time extremely effective and most competent characters in the entire series. If I was Matthew Settle, would be proud for the rest of my life of this performance. One of the most subtle, yet powerful and intimidating performances in the history of Television in my opinion.

He wasn't arrogant, cocky or egotistical in nature. The type of man that would gladly shine the light on another rather than take the praise for himself.

This scene plays out as Spiers' own personal final interview of Lipton for the job of an officer. He tests him with the story of Rome and Carthage, which Lipton almost certainly knows nothing about but grasps the underlying lesson and immediately adapts it to his own side of the argument like Plato questioning Socrates. In this case Lipton may have gotten to the bottom of the dilemma involving Spiers' possible warcrimes, in much the same way that Plato wrote the final defense of his teacher.

I think you and many others both through ignorance and inflated view of yourselves view this generation of as weak. Give listless young men struggle and purpose, you’d be surprised what they’re capable of. The Japanese thought of America as being to weak to stomach a war, and boy were they ever wrong. Time and again through world history it has been the losers folly to underestimate an opponent as weak and soft, only to have their own resolve shatter by supposedly weak men.

I love continuing to see new footage of this war. Every single new clip is an enjoyment, even if it’s a fleeting few seconds. There seems to be so much. Another great, special video of yours. This brings back memories of the church choir scene in Band of Brothers, as they spent their night in Rachamps, just north of Foy.

When I first saw this show when I was a kid, my favorite character was Lipton, and 20 years after, it's still Lipton. He's not the bravest and the most charismatic hero, but he's the good and silent leader, and even if it not the realy leader or chief of the company, he always be the best support for every one, and the mentor for many soldiers under his order, he act like a real Dad for many soldiers. The best ally for all of the company leaders (Winters, Speirs). When the others crack and drop (Buck Compton, Guarnere), he still stay strong and take care of the band, he is the soul of the company, a brillant, humble and quiet leader. And Donnie Walhberg is such a underated actor !

There was similar cased back in the Roman era though. For example Marcus Licinius Crassus made his men fear him more than his enemy Spartacus.
Without question, one of the best scenes in the entire series in my opinion.

Sam West 1. First Sergeant gets paid a tad bit more than an LT 2. The First Sergeant has way more influence over his entire Company than a Lieutenant who typically commands a Platoon. 3. Because of #2, no one gives a shit about what the LT says, but First Sergeant WILL strike the fear of God in his enlisted soldiers. Hell, even if you're an Officer, I'd still be afraid of your First Sergeant. He'll probably fuck you up too if you're not careful!

Usually LTs get paid more, but typically a Staff Sergeant having served a few years will equal their pay to that of a 2nd LT in his first.

+His Dudeness but is that true back during ww2? or is your comment stating what the current salary for a 1st SS compared to a LT gets? also dont LT's get more added benefits compared to a NCO? just curious.
@HisDudeness1986

I'm not completely sure how things were run back then, but I can guess that even then tenured NCOs were barely making just above an Officer who just graduated the academy. Officers have a lot of responsibility with managing their elements, administration and planning. Whereas NCOs are the ones who enforce what the Officer wants done. Again, back to rank structure, the 1SG had more influence and respect than an LT. You have to think - The 1SG has been enlisted for many years, somewhere between 15-20 years. He's been a Private before, put up with all the BS that the military has thrown at him and is now calling the shots for his entire Company. Everything his Soldiers are now doing, he has already done years ago. A Lieutenant however, has just graduated an academy and is new to the Army. His experience is very limited and doesn't know nearly as much as the First Sergeant, despite out ranking him. You also have to understand that as an LT, he is thrust into a position of commanding a Platoon and overseeing everything that happens with that element. He works along side his Platoon Sergeant (usually a Staff Sergeant or Sergeant First Class). Likewise, the Platoon Sergeant has been in the service for many years and knows how to handle situations that the LT typically wouldn't. It takes a while before an Officer can come into his own and earn his Soldiers' respect to manage them. As far as I'm concerned, Officers can make or break your career, NCOs can make or break your life! lol
