Why couldn't he accept that he was a shit field commander?
>>65601958Ambrose was a fraud
>>65601958If he was a bad leader in an unjust war, does that make him good?
>>65601958NON-REGULATION THREAD. BANNED

WOah guys lets cool it with the antisemitic remarks

>>65602012We should have nuked Berlin and then kept dropping nukes east until we hit Japan again
>>65602031uncle addy was just handling the woke era of his own time, and sadly the overclever zionists were already playing fifth-gen warfare. I wouldn't nuke anywhere in Europe, even if I can't think of anything good Germany has done since 1945. Maybe Sinn watches, Glashutte, and Laco. BMWs I guess, it's just a regular Ford over there tho. Most everything else is degenerate ugly-beautiful "art" made by a conquered people in occupied territory.>>65602012no. people aren't automatically good because they had a good opinion once.
>>65601958>Why couldn't he accept that he was a shit field commander?>Sobel was born and raised in a Jewish family of four children in Chicago, Illinois.
>>65602050>The officers in Easy Company nicknamed Sobel "the Black Swan,"[14] and the enlisted men frequently referred to him as a "fucking Jew" when he was out of earshot.[12]
>>65602053Based
>>65602040> I wouldn't nuke anywhere in EuropeI wouldn’t go that far, France exists.
>>65602040>I wouldn't nuke anywhere in EuropeI would've dropped one on each Russian city with a population above 10k until they retreated all the way into Mongolia. Germany would've forever partitioned to this day and all of the communists who survived Hitler's camps would've all been executed for spying for the USSR.
>based ross doing serious roles>based ross getting a paul hollywood baking handshakewhat a guy.
>>65602070France belongs to God :)[ infidel >:( ]
The same reason I can't admit I'm a shit commander of my life, asinine levels of pride.
>>65602077So they’ve controlled every white nation for 1000 years without an ounce of correction to their methods?That would actually establish that they’re perfect.
>>65602342>France belongs to God :)Not him but he's clearly abandoned it to its fate. As he does.
>>65601958Ross never got over his breakup with rachel and that is why he was so bitter
>>65601961I thought the interviews with dick winters confirmed the accuracy of the series.
>>65602664Other interviews with people outside the Winters Clique said that Winters was a self-aggrandizing asshole who really lived up to his nickname.
>>65602671What was his nickname?Also, was the real life Nixon a bro at least?
>>65602706You're not seriously asking what RICHARD Winters' nickname was, are you?
>>65601958Easy company were a pack of shitbags malding about being expected to practice basic discipline, there is no unbiassed account of what Sobel was like but considering the gravest indictment of him is that his NCOs got more respect than he did (which is literally the point of NCOs, as COs cannot reasonably be expected to befriend every fucking enlisted wop) then he was probably fine.
>>65602706>NixonNo. I forget who but one of the men said he was, and I quote, “a prick”. The series is a fictional drama about the WW2 myth boomers like to imagine, not a documentary.
>>65602706>Also, was the real life Nixon a bro at least?No one except Winters liked him. Worth looking into if you like the series enough to believe it was 100% factual
>>65601961Yes he was a shit historian
>>65601958He was not as bad as he was portrayed in the band of brothers. He was made intentionally into a villain because it played well. I don't remember the exact inaccuracies but you can search yt, someone made some videos on this topic.And another account i heard from eugene sledge or his party is that the adaptation of the with old breed in peileilu has about 20% accurate based on what tom hanks said, and that 20% hisyorical accuracy is higher than then 10% hollywood usually delivers. So unfortunately as band of brothers or the pacific is, they are probably filled with wrong portreyals of historic events and people.FYI i have ugene's book but i have yet to read it, so maybe someone else here can testify to the accuracy in The Pacific.
>>65602748Frosty?
>>65602788Hmm. Has anybody wrote a counter-book or something about Easy Company?
>>65602031Holy based response
>>65602664Dickwad said I do not remember who died in battle when he survived. In fact, that man went on to fight in Korea and attended Easy company reunions for years.Amborse REALLY liked some Dick and unflinchingly took whatever came out of its mouth.
Ok, doing some cursory research revealed that band of brother has several big lies about the characters there. It sucks one of most fav pieces of cinema i just made up shit about real people, either making them saints or villains. At least the pacific is fairly accurate trustworthy. It sucks I modeled my persona during my service on lies.It would have been good if they mentioned that. But the documentary style interviews they throw in supposedly sell it as a fairly accurate documentary.
>>65603102Which character did you model your 'persona' on during your service and it was this guy, wasn't it?
>>65603108Winters, that the only reason i was able to salute my faggot CO and other faggot officers "we solute the rank, not the officer". I had both enemies and friends which is more my character trait than trying yo ve soneone else, could not stand assholes or try to fit in.I remember that the regimental CO called me into his office trying to convice me to go to officers schhol all while looking down at his phone (not a smart phone, that was in '07).
>>65602031Replace Berlin with Moscow.
>>65602832Do you actually think anyone would actually believe it? They'd take it as a completely unhinged attack on muh flawless Winters, Winters' crew, and the perfect miniseries they think is a documentary
>>65603102>modeled my persona during my service on liesThat has to be a joke
This is a low-quality thread.
>>65603186BoB is low-quality so go figure
Was this entire thread made just so someone could seethe over a tv show? Take it to /tv/.
>>65603108I couldn't stand Luz, so much forced cringe humor
>>65602748Richie?
>>65603149No, fuck germany
>>65603184>>65603184Not entirely obviously, but those were the type of characters I looked up to during my service as I strived to better myself, how is that deserving of ridicule?
>>65603108I LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDY
>>65603250Found one.
>>65602832Yes actually. David Webster wrote a memoir about Easy Company which provides a much different perspective than Winters did. He couldn't find a publisher in his own lifetime though.
>>65601958SO NO ONE TOLD YOU LIFE WAS GONNA BE THIS WAYYY
>>65603383>He couldn't find a publisher in his own lifetime though.I wonder why
People underestimate how difficult life is when your name is Herbert.t. was almost named Herbert and come from a long line of Herberts
>>65603402Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA?
>>65603412-1 gold and karma for your heckin' lame ass jokes
>>65603447dang, it really hasn't been my day, my month or even my year then
>>65601958>early lifei wonder why
>>65603336Wehrapoo? Yup we did.
>>65603456No. You should kill yourself.
>>65603333Ehy so butthurt? That jew probably saved their lives by not givim them goyslop PE.Numerous veterans of easy credited Sobel’s brutal training with preparing them for combat and contributing to their survival. He was physically fit and led by example in training. After Easy, he also jumped into Normandy with the regiment’s Service Company and saw action, which is not covered in the series.t.jew
>>65603402Could be worse, you could have been Leroy.>Hey Leroy, you ever heard that song...?
>>65603811But the bit where Winters outranked him and humiliatingly made Sobel salute was
>>65602012>unjust warYikes!>>65602031THIS, but start at the Rhine and skip over the Baltics, Poland, and Ukraine.>>65602040>uncle addy was just handling the woke era of his own timeHitler was instrumental in creating woke you retard.>>65602664Winters built a bit of a personality cult around himself among the NCOs and junior officers of Easy Company (to put it simply, he was much more popular than Sobel or any of the men who took the position after him). Enlisted men and NCOs weren’t part of his clique of buddies were generally more critical of him.>>65602840You’re thinking of Albert Blithe, and to be fair, while he did attend 101st Airborne reunions, he isn’t known to have attended any Easy Company-specific ones (and likely couldn’t specifically because he had returned to active duty). So it would have been very easy for someone who had served with him in Normandy to have assumed that he died of his wounds and then relayed this to Ambrose. Ambrose’s great crime was not bothering to double check the information he was being given during interviews, which he could have done by visiting the National Archives or the VA and looking through personnel records. At the very least, he should have put a disclaimer in the book that there was some of the information couldn’t be verified and might be inaccurate/incomplete. James O’Donnell did this when putting together the account of Hitler’s final months in the Berlin bunker, he expressly stated that the eyewitness accounts he was working with couldn’t always be independently verified and might not be completely accurate.
>>65603811JEW!
>>65603911>which he could have done by visiting the National Archives or the VA and looking through personnel recordsBetter yet, he could have facebooked them
>>65603911But jokes aside, what a shit 'journalist' who doesn't bother to verify his sources
>>65603911>Hitler was instrumental in creating woke you retard.Only if you agree jews are responsible for antisemitism and blacks responsible for racism.
>>65603911I really don't know what to think about the fact that after all those years one of our most consistent(ly terrible) posters on /k/ is a Jewish pedophile.
>>65603911>>65603924this shit made me think I was in /ak/ for a second>>65603911I was cheering blithe on when he finally manned up, I was devasted when he got shot and the final message in the episode said he died in 1948, then I read about him after watching that episode and learned he went on to go fight in Korea. I was like wtf, I almost quit the show after that.
