That’s rarely a good idea and it’s not guaranteed to work out, but it would be so goddamn gratifying.There’s a lot of bullshit in the military and it comes in many forms and for many reasons. There are ass chewings over uniform regulations, bloused boots, cuffed sleeves, shaved faces and hair length, as well as strongly worded reprimands for failing to show up 15 minutes early to formation. Oftentimes that’s all there is to it. You take the verbal hits and move on. The real Band of Brothers soldier played by Neal McDonalgh was commissioned as a second lieutenant after completing the ROTC program at UCLA and underwent parachute training at Fort Benning before joining Easy Company. He was wounded during Operation Market Garden in Holland, but returned to active duty and spent a brutal winter holding the line in Bastogne. It was an amazing and really profound relationship,” Jendresen told the Band of Brothers podcast, Dead Eyes, last year. “Over the course of about four to six months, I immersed myself in the story of Easy Company, poring through it, working with Winters on a daily basis.” Winners at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards".

Dominic Cooper had a small part in the first episode, and found the intensity of it all so overwhelming he nearly quit acting altogether.
