| Band of Brothers is certainly one WW2 film that has stayed true to events. One could learn more from a series like that than the whole of a secondary school history teaching. |

| Yup, love this series. I never used to like war movies/shows but i watched an episode out of a mate's box set and was hooked. I still need to buy the boxset my self...damn expensive just now. |

I loved Band of Brothers so much. It's so hard to watch the concentration camp episode though..
I absolutely love Bill Garnier. "There's somethin down there in that town called Germans. And they'd like to kill us! So if you wanna go knockin on the gawwwd-damn doors, go right ahead!" |

To the best of my knowledge Stephen Ambrose never wrote about the Pacific front. To be honest, I wasn't really enamored with Band of Brothers (the book not the series ... the series was ing awesome). If you're looking for a better read, I would pick up Citizen Soldiers. Truly a classic that's far more comprehensive and stylistically rewarding when it comes to detailing the genuine sacrifices rendered by seemingly ordinary people at a time which demanded great sacrifice. |

Really, and why is that mister political, and military advisor?
I've had friends taken from combat because they were sole survivors. |
They would never have sent a group of soldiers to rescue one guy. That's rediculous, why would they risk the lives of those soldiers for one guy? It doesn't make any sense. |

I sense this thread is gonna turn gay because of ppl talking about a load of bollocks. Stick to the ing series called Band Of Brothers and how amazingly good it is/was :)
What amazed me is the amount of actors who are relatively unknown who put in magnificent acting roles, I thought the acting was top notch. |

Really? Amazing.. today thats the job of Special Forces, Rangers, Pararescue, Marines, Force Recon, SEALs, DELTA. Although thats not their main job thats part of what they do.
Efforts to save one man are always done. Our motto has, and always will be "Leave no man behind". Period. That motto may defy logic but thats what we do, and thats what was instilled in our minds since boot camp. No one gets left behind.
The story behind this movie is true, but there was no real rescue effort for Niland because no one had a clue where he was. He finally walked back after some time and was told "we've been looking for you" by some Chaplain. |
