in all seriousness now..Ihonestly think it or similar probably happened at some point during that conflict.


No, nothing like that happened during the American Revolution. We were not facing down Nazis, we were facing down our former countrymen. Neither side wanted to massacre the other, especially innocents. Again, it was based on this crime that happened in World War II: Oradour-sur-Glane Massacre

quote:

On 10 June, Diekmann's battalion sealed off Oradour-sur-Glane and ordered everyone within to assemble in the village square to have their identity papers examined. This included six non-residents who happened to be bicycling through the village when the SS unit arrived. The women and children were locked in the church, and the village was looted. The men were led to six barns and sheds, where machine guns were already in place.

According to a survivor's account, the SS men then began shooting, aiming for their legs. When victims were unable to move, the SS men covered them with fuel and set the barns on fire. Only six men managed to escape. One of them was later seen walking down a road and was shot dead. In all, 190 Frenchmen died.

The SS men next proceeded to the church and placed an incendiary device beside it. When it was ignited, women and children tried to escape through the doors and windows, only to be met with machine-gun fire. 247 women and 205 children died in the attack.

But these are their fellow countrymen. This wasn’t a raping and pillaging type of war. Keep in mind how small the Boston Massacre is in comparison to the church burning scene. It was not all that violent of a war. Disease killed way more people in that war than the actual fighting did for example.

Timothy E Upham from Saving Private Ryan




First one I thought of. Him doing nothing while the big German went up and killed Mellish is inexcusable. He has a loaded rifle. The German is concentrating on Mellish. All Upham had to do was shoot him, or at least knock him in the head with the butt of his rifle. Even him distracting the guy could give Mellish an opportunity to end the knife fight.

I see articles about the movie saying Upham redeems himself by executing the German he talked the Captain into letting go in an earlier scene. Screw that. I'm not sure he's not a villain. He's a sh*tbag for sure.

Lot's of non drug dealing people in it that were much worse than her.

Clayton "Clay" Davis
Thomas "Herc" Hauk
Ervin H. Burrell
William A. Rawls
Clarence V. Royce

I think I'm the only person who hated the way the show ends. Too many public officials that should have been put behind bars, get off easy.
