  Captain Richard Flaherty, 'The Giant Killer', 4'9", 97lbs.  Silver Star, 2 Bronze Stars, 2 Purple Hearts and yet wound up homeless.  How does a country let that happen to it's heroes?

  My dad said the scene from Forrest Gump, where they were grilling outside with the palm trees, and the Hueys were flying overhead in Vietnam gave him goosebumps. Whoever put that scene together was there too, and it was perfect.

  A sniper known as 'the Reaper' and he says 'I'm scared of bugs'. Sir, you made my brother's day. He's retired military and was watching this with me, and the laugh he gave as he agreed with you was just precious. Thank you all experts for your service and sacrifice and just for your expertise. Movies should be hiring you guys to get their movies right.

  I love how I was like 11 or 13 when Band of Brothers came out and it was immidietly my favorite Show for Years and Years and YEARS and that it still holds up so accurately after almost 20 years and always get's a NEAR perfect rating just goes to Show how much Love and Time went into that Show. Everything about it was great. The Warscenes, The dialogues, The Actors. All of it.

  When I went through boot camp at Paris island, the Drill Instructors were some of the funniest people I ever met. But you couldn’t laugh other wise they’d haze the soul out of our bodies.

  I feel like R. Lee Ermey is pretty unassailable as a DI. <br><br>His behavior might not follow protocol or be of its day, but it was authentic considering it really was his job. He became the inspiration for so many.

  You&apos;re bringing back memories... When I was in basic, we had one D I almost everybody looked up to, maxed out every PT test. Well, he had a distinctive voice that I could mimic, I probably don&apos;t have to go further. But one of my buddies had glasses like his, we stole his brown round and I went room to room imitating him for morale, we had a rough week or so. I get to the last group of guys to prank, walk in the room, everyone that saw me, at ease, I went into my spill, got a laugh, and heard, at ease, stop stop, I said, we&apos;ve done that already. After lookin at the fear, mostly for me, on all of their faces, my heart fell to my feet. Needless to say, I got a workout of a lifetime. In that process, he told me how he felt about me putting my grubby lil private hands on his brown round. He also told me, he respected why I did it, afterwards

  My father was a Marine who served in Vietnam told me a lot about his experience at basic and their reception when they got home but wouldn’t go any further than that. Unfortunately he passed away due to pancreatic cancer a few years ago rather quickly and I never got the chance to talk to him about it anymore. He did say boot in the Marines was brutal back then. They took a young boy and turned you into a Man. He spoke about a big guy in boot who was a mouthy bully to some of the guys. One day he was called away and returned later a different person. Later they found out he had been beaten pretty badly when they noticed all the bruising to his body but the only thing he would ever admit is that it was a training accident. But everyone knew. <br>My Uncle served in WW2 in the 101st Airborne 501G He’s been in several books and even received several additional medals years later during his funeral issued by then President Clinton. He never talked about his experiences either but I was young at the time and didn’t understand. A few years after his passing I got to read his memoirs which some were included into published books as well as watched some interviews with historians and such for movies, other books and so on. He was even asked to be a part of the making of Band of Brothers but declined. He came home after the war became a farmer and lived the rest of his life in peace. He was an amazing man and gentle but he wasn’t to trifled with either.
