This story points to how short and unexpected each of our lives can be. Thank God for men like him and the rest of the greatest generation.

Please do Albert Blythe. His story is tragic because Stephen E. Ambrose, and therefore the movie, got his "death" completely wrong. He remained in the Army, served in Korea where he was awarded a Silver Star and three Bronze Stars and was a Master Sergeant still in the service when he died in Germany with a perforated ulcer in 1967. He's buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

​@@darth_yoda I think that the likely reason is that Ambrose did the majority of his research as interviews with the men of Easy themselves. Please correct me if I am in error, but I have been led to believe that their "source" was the fact that Blythe never attended any of the reunions and having been evac'd to hospital from Normandy they never saw him again. Thus they made the erroneous conclusion that he had died from his wounds. As for Ambrose please bear in mind that he had a lot of men to research aside from the interviews with the surviving members so some errors are inevitable.

The old ring knocker network hasn't changed- a West Point grad's life was (and is) somehow more valuable than that of an OCS/ROTC/Battlefield Commissioned officer's life. The worst part was the WP grads were the absolute worst new platoon leaders I ever experienced across the board, year after year. My father (101 Vietnam), grandfather (32nd ID Pacific WW II) and GGF (3rd ID France WW I) all said the same.

I know my fellow Infantrymen will agree with me when I say that we are very particular to the Officers that lead us. We also know that some men will behave differently when in battle so it’s a long process of training and mentoring junior Officers and if they’re spoiled infants that abuse their position, we won’t deal with them and ensure they have each opportunity for their weaknesses to be shown to their Commander. In my 26 years on Active Duty and in two wars, I’ve worked with many West Point Officers and only two were amazing men we would follow to our death if needed. One was a fresh Lieutenant and the first thing he did was sit down with every NCO in his platoon and tell us that he doesn’t know anything daily platoon operations and critical tasks we had to train for along with other tactics at the squad, section and platoon level. After that he would shadow various NCO’s in training and ask questions to understand our line of thinking. At the time I was an 11H (Anti Armor Infantryman) and our tactics are a little different than regular Infantry but, if needed, we can become regular Infantrymen seamlessly. Our job is to act as an organic Scout in some rare occasions when our Scout elements are in other areas, we’re also tasked with defending the Infantry from armored vehicles/tanks as well as support any friendly armored units that may be assigned to our Battalion. At the time I was in D. Co. 2/502 INF, 101st ABN so we’re a light Infantry unit which meant we walked a lot and had to sling load our HMMWV’s by helo and there’s a long list of tactics involved with Air Assault ops on its own besides fighting enemy armor in non-armored vehicles! We rely on heavy camouflage on our vehicles and we’ll chosen terrain. Back then we called for fire support and coordinated close air support on our own without FAC’s as we were sent to a short school to learn Air Force ordinance envelopes and danger close windows. The 80’s and 90’s had a very strong Infantry force that was cross trained in many aspects that allowed the units more abilities than having to rely on Soldiers with one skill set to do a task. I’ve had the honor of meeting the Band of Brothers Veterans except Major Winters during their many visits to Germany in 2002-07 and once they got around us they’d start talking like Grunts again and we shared hilarious stories we experienced during combat. Shifty and I are both Sniper qualified so he asked me a lot about the newer systems I was trained on as did I on his system. If we were to ask those men if they knew our country would be flooded with illegals and a socialist government, do you think they would have fought so hard or fought at all? I know how I would answer. Today the Infantry and other Combat Arms MOS’s (12B, 19K, 19D, 13B, etc) is barely able to keep liberalism out of its operations and mind set but West Point only produces die hard communists and socialists so keep that in mind the next time you praise a younger West Point graduate.

@boomer6611

I concur with your assessment 100%. The Wokeness has infiltrated our military and government and we are weaker as a nation because of it. Why? Because it isn't about leadership and making tough decisions to get the job done, or hiring the best/most qualified man/woman for the job (meaning physically too, ergo the ability to carry 100lbs of kit over long distances at high rates of march). It is about lowering the standards so women can be given a Ranger tab. There are literally mandatory weekly training meetings and whine session throughout our government agencies trying to brainwash and intimidate Americans under the guise of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion and concurrence Critical Race Theory. Questions of that nature will be included in every interview for employment or promotion. As for the comments of West Pointers, the trend of communists and socialists is very true and even more so, alarming. I will say this, many suffer from large egos when they arrive at units as 2LTs and the ones that get aviation are the worse. Granted, the selection for the service academies is hard, if you want to go that route, I myself am an OCS grad after 8 years enlisted service. Most academy grads tend to have an entitled attitude when they show up vs servant leadership and these officers give all academy grads a very, very bad name. Officers like Villanueva, West Point grad, who served in the 10th Mountain and 75th Rangers (my alma mater) and a recipient of the Bronze Star for Valor, was the only NFL player who stood for the Anthem, are representative of the old breed standards in the more recent graduates. Now, having said these remarks, albeit disparaging, I They do, however, show up to the unit fit. Especially the Infantry officers. Very fit. You will rarely see an academy grad, particularly an infantry officer, fall out of a run. The service academies need to revamp the curriculum and get these woke professors out of the teaching pool. We don't need to replicate Columbia or Harvard universities and have the PLO with their checked Arafat scarves protesting on the parade fields of the service academies. We have the academies to teach men and women to fight and defend the country. NOT to advocate gender dysphoria and inclusion through reduction of standards in a warrior class that is designed/intended to be isolated by society and used in the event of war. Sheep don't like sheep dogs because they look like wolves, so the sheep want them to be lap dogs instead ... until the wolf pounds on the door.

Hank was the name he went by. A lot of Henry's were known as Hank.

Wow, the actor was Hanks' son. All honor to this soldier, but please don't say the stellar connection wasn't involved. Who would know that Colin Hanks looked like Jones---and so what? His performance was fine.

Well, from what I heard, when they were doing the casting, Hanks saw a photo of Henry Jones and immediately thought of his son. He probably would have played a larger role or been in the series earlier had it been my daddy's the producer type of thing.

@@IdentitiesWW2 Nah, Hanks just kept it a small late role under the ethical radar.

What was the operation? It sounded minor but ended finishing his life.

It was never made public which makes me wonder if it was doctor negligence.

00:16 tells us to notice the resemblance between the actor and the man 00:20 never bothers to show us a picture of the actor

KZread like longer videos.

Spoiler: He got the part for who he is. That's how it works in Hollywood.

Why did he need an operation? Why are you leaving us hanging on that topic?

No, there is simply no mention of his operation anywhere unfortunately.
