    If they hadn't done that boot camp, I don't think the series would be as realistic as it was. Best show I've seen in 30 years.

    BAND OF BROTHERS, A monumental achievement. The actors put their heart and Soul into bringing the series to life, in a way where the characters portrayed were the bedrock for the success of the series. The dedication of all concerned, to represent Soldiers in combat, the realism, physical and mental, in a way that is free of the usual Hollwood style, focusing more on the believable characters, their weakness and strengths. The quality of the series will forever set the benchmark on any drama series dealing with war.

    @thehistoryexplorer Yes, my father's story is a harrowing one. He was severely wounded, captured, and left to die by the Germans near a tunnel. He was used as bait in an attempt to capture any American soldiers who might come to his rescue. He survived his injuries and returned to his unit in time for the Brest campaign. He was quite a man, and I deeply regret that he didn't live long enough for me to know him as an adult.

    I made my kids watch Band of Brothers in grade school so they would have a PROPER history lesson about what happened during WWII. Even if it was an isolated view of one company, it is way better than any book our kids have in school or what any teacher can talk to them about. The teachers don’t even believe what they are teaching. Band of Brothers should be required viewing for history classes. I have 2 favorite all time shows, Band of Brothers and Breaking Bad. While I love Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers is far and away #1.

    Just finished "Masters of the Air". It was great, but overall(similar to "The Pacific"), it mainly just reminded me how incredible BoB was/is. I feel bad, especially for everyone involved in "The Pacific", it's probably an amazing series, but it's impossible to live up to the bar that BoB set. The timing was perfect, and it's so clear that Hanks knew, from the beginning, how important what they were doing was, and that really seemed to rub off on everyone else.

Their arduous physical and mental training is intense and includes battle inoculation designed to be as realistic as possible.

I think I remember reading somewhere that wet feet at 60°, you can develop trench foot in about 12 hours.
