There's nothing like getting super obsessed with a 20+ year old mini-series.

“Supply officers made ridiculous demands on subordinate headquarters, which culminated in the height of absurdity when senior headquarters directed all officers who had received a silk escape map before the jump into Normandy to turn them in or be fined $75. I had kept my escape map sewn in the belt lining of my pants all through the war.

After four campaigns, that map had sentimental value. There are times that the army comes up with some rules and orders that defy common sense and are meant to be disobeyed. This time I took a firm stand and I borrowed a punch line from General McAuliffe at Bastogne. Writing a short note to Captain Sobel, still serving as regimental S-4, I wrote, "Nuts!" To add salt into Sobel's wound, I signed the message, "Richard D. Winters, Major, Commanding." That ended it.”

I really love the parallel and progression in these shots; the two of them drifting closer until they're side by side.

dick is the type of dad to make sure you brush your teeth, set out your clothes for the next day, say your prayers and gently tell you that yes, it is too late for a snack before tucking you in for the night and lew is the type of dad to army crawl across your bedroom floor ten minutes later with crackers and a whispered “don’t leave any crumbs I love you goodnight”

Took me quite a few watches to spot these two leaning against a tree together while the chaplain speaks.
