His buddy gets shot in the spine and they have to convince him to go to the doctor rather than continue fighting with his friends. What a group of absolute badasses.

My uncle my grandma brother was part of K company and I had another uncle part of the 100th battalion. Crazy to hear him say that the Germans was focused on those two companies and then to think about “ho my uncles was there”
@@johnarmstrong472 oh I never heard of that book. My uncle passed away when I was really young, I only started to learn about what he did when I got into high school. I wouldn’t doubt that they were.

Was it true they were rebellious? Wasn't there a book "The Boys from Company K"?
