The Legacy of Dick Winters

Long read, but worth your time.
It's important to remember that we know of Winters and Easy Company because Ambrose decided to write about them. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of others whose stories would be equally compelling if told. LINK

Winters’ personal vow made in the wee hours of June 6, 1944 was this: If he made it through the war with his life, he’d spend the rest of it as normally and peacefully as possible.
"It started on D-Day under machine-gun fire," Winters told the Patriot-News in a 2001 interview from his Hershey-area home. "When I saw others next to me get hit just because they lifted their head up at the wrong time, I knew I could be killed, too. I said, 'My dear God, if I live through this, all I want is peace and quiet.'"

" Grandpa, were you a hero?"
" No, but I served in a company of heroes"
Always sticks out to me from Band of Brothers
Greatest Generation personified

My nephew and his wife named their cat Lt. Winters after they saw Band of Brothers.
Every time I visit and see “Lieutenant”, I think of that man fondly.

Yes lets celebrate the killing of peoples. Plus if you read what the guy actually wrote, you would see the guy had no use for wars. Why keep fighting the wars for the old farts? I mean look at the US and how we are constantly at battle with something across the world. I wonder how many lives could be saved if we just tried to get away from oil and leave the fricking middle east god damn alone. But that won't happen as there is too much money to be made with the military industrial complex.

We are exporting oil lol, try and keep up

So if it isn't that or oil, then why the frick are we constantly over there? They got some alien bunkers over there?

Tell us how much oil is in Afghanistan? And for the record I'm an alt right populist paleocon 100% non interventionist, I would pull out of NATO and follow the Monroe doctrine until Europe shows enough self respect to deserve our help.

We aren’t celebrating the killing of people, moron. We aren’t for war. We are celebrating exactly what the guy wrote about Winter and precisely the type of person he was.
God, you’re a fricking dumbass.
