Band of Brothers

[Skipper]

Just saw where WWII hero Major Dick Winters passed away. God Bless him and the company of heroes who served this great country.

If you haven't seen, "Band of Brothers", do yourself a favor and rent it, watch it on demand, etc. It will make you appreciate those that paved the way for all of us.

One of my favorite scenes from the series, which is kind of funny:

Excellent Skipper :0008

My Dad has the Hardcover of this Book and several others signed to him by Steven Ambrose.

By far the most powerful mini-series/movie that I have ever seen. "The Pacific" was good as well, but it was hard to beat "Band of Brothers" for me.

The Pacific was a Yawn

I see where you are coming from, but it is hard to say anything negative about those guys.

"Band of Brothers" should be mandatory in every senior history class.

Not discounting the Hardcore Jar Heads that had to deal with that at all.

The show was slow.

Agree. I still think they need to show this in every high school in the US. These smart a$$ kids need to see what those guys did to protect not only our freedom, but in helping other counties in the world.

1000% agreed !

A 9 to 10 year old kid was walking home from school yesterday. Going past my house he goes uo a neighbors driveway and into his yar and is fixin' to take a piss, I yelled at him and he gave me attitued, so I came out of the garage, and told him to zip up and go home, and asked him what his momma and daddy would think about what he was doing?

He asks me, I don't know, do you want to ask them? Sure. 1930 PST his asshat parents show up to confront me about yelling at their "Angel" with huge attitude, so I gave it right back and then some. He asked why did I yell at little darling and I told him. He told his half wit Milf to go get the little shit, he applologized to me, the kid took a boot to the ass, the mother and father appologized.

I see this shit all the time, it doesn't matter how old they are, 7 -33, even older, these fuckers in my neighborhood thing they are qualifying, my goal is to put them in the back of the grid by.... Silly me DRIVING THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT SET BY THE HOA !

I had some butt dart pull a .22 on me, driving a lowered honda with boom, boom, boom shit, while he was tailgating me.

Would you tailgate a 2010 F150 FWD while you were in a Honda, any honda ? then pull a duece-duece? So I lock my brakes pop out of the cab before the truck stops moving then pull a duece-duece? Not telling ya what I pulled, but it's at least 2X bigger, loaded with HydroShok :0008 nuff said

Along with BSG, Band of Brothers is the greatest TV series ever. The show brought home the reality of war to the television set

Thanks for the trailer. That is some intense stuff. Makes me feel guilty about complaining about my shitty IT desk job.

Good Stuff, will get this today. I teared up many times on Band of Brothers, so this will be tough. Quite frankly, if this doesn't get you emotional, there is something wrong.
