Every single one of the surviving veterans say that they hated Sobel but we're VERY grateful for the harshness of his training!! They say it helped them become the best soldiers and probably helped them to survive!!! I don't think that was Sobel's intention but it wound up being an unintentional BENEFIT to the men!!
Well young lady you have earned a sub from me because I love to watch the younger generations react to this show!! Just want to relay some information, actually the commanding officer of EASY company was a Captain not a Sergeant!! Don't mean to sound nitpicky but just wanted to correct you on that!! Yes these men all volunteered for this because they wanted to be with the best of the best!! And the airborne troops were the best of the best, trained better and longer than any of the other military troops at that time!! One thing you will learn throughout this series is the reason why they are called the GREATEST GENERATION!!! These men basically dropped their lives to join the military and fight the evil that was Nazi Germany!! There's another series called the Pacific which focuses on our Pacific theater of war against the Japanese!!! This is something that I think everyone should watch and show their children!!!❤
Same here and well said! I'm always amazed at how much history is lost on our younger generation (I grew up as a kid in the 70's) and was always reading everything. I understand and am not criticizing and only that schools have changed so much along with technology taking people away from history, unfortunately for social media and stunts.
This is the masterpiece of masterpieces about the war. It is based on a book so it is all based on real people and actual events. In a nutshell, the plan was to drop close to 20,000 paratroopers and glider infantry behind the invasion beaches the night before the landings to take specific objectives and block German reinforcements to the beaches. The seaborne invasion was to take place around dawn the next day with around 150,000 men.
My great uncle was a medic in the 2nd ID, landed on Jun 7th and ended the war in Czechoslovakia, also under Patton. It was a great honor when my first posting in the Army was also in my uncle's unit.
I wonder if he knew my grandfather my grandfather was a chaplain in Pattons army was with the army all the way from North Africa to sicily to Normandy to Berlin (he wasn’t directly on the front though except when he was giving his Sunday sermons to the men on the front or that time his driver accidentally drove past the front lines by several miles and came face to face with a tiger tank)
This came out in 2001, Friends didnt end until 2004.. David Schwimmer was ROSS. It was amazing to me to see him walk out in the first scene as Ross and turn into Captain Sobel within minutes. He absolutely owned this role. Sobel absolutely wanted them to be the best, but I feel it was much more because of his own glory than it was because of preparing the men. The men did benefit from that harsh training though.
IRL Sobel commanded the HQ company of the 101st during the jump, and acquitted himself well in that role, assembling an ad hoc unit to eliminate a couple bunkers near St. Mere Eglise.
I am so glad you are watching this series. One of the best. I thought you were gonna miss a lot of character development commenting during the opening scenes, but then saw that you were going back to where you started commenting. You will learn a lot watching this. Looking forward to your reaction.
@12:30 Sobel is tough but that doesn't make him a good trainer. A good officer (or any leader) also knows when to give praise and how to instill pride, particularly pride in your unit. All Sobel does is tell his soldiers they are failing. He's a morale destroyer. A leader ensures accountability and drives people, but he/she doesn't just denigrate everyone all the time. These are traits of anti-leaders. The military doesn't encourage this at all.
His behavior is known training technique, which is to unify the team by making himself the bad guy. This is literally drill sergeant 101. However, the problem is that he is not just their training officer but also their leader. Add to that his insecurities (which is why he tried to punish winters and promotes him in private etc) and you can see why he didn't work out. Again, excellent training officer, bad leader.
Yep, they really would have shot them! It's like Col. Sink said, it's an act of mutiny, which is punishable by death. When in peacetime, the punishment is not that severe. In peacetime, the charge would have been more like "Dereliction of Duty." Which would likely only result in a period of time in a military jail. However, in wartime, you can't have a whole group of soldiers just quitting. Imagine, if your company was in a battle, and things started really getting tough, and all the men just decided upon themselves, to just quit and walk away from the battle. That is a VERY serious offense! The "cure" for mutiny was death, to prevent anyone from trying to attempt it.
As a younger person, it is important to remember that these men volunteered to fight and in many cases lost their lives, so that future generations could live free. Much of that attitude is lost in today's world of instant gratification and non-willingness to sacrifice. We are slowly losing the shared experience of military service as only about 0.5% of Americans join the military, yet the 99.5% that do not join have all of their rights and freedoms because of them.
So this mini series is based on a book about the 506h parachute infantry regiment of the 101St Airborne division. You'll be following them thought the whole series. So the 101st Airborne division (10k-15k men) would be broken down something like this: 3-4 Brigades (3k-5k men). The Brigades were broken down into 4 Regiments of which the 506th is one. The 506th Regiment consisted on 9 Companies A-I of which E (Easy) is the one we're following and would consist of 140 men. The company would be broken down in smaller units of Platoons and Squads. You'll hear them talk about Platoons (around 46 men) in the show but don't recall them mentioning Squads. So anyway you know have an idea of how many men they are talking about when you hear the different terms.
If you're going all the way with this...be prepared to grow, laugh, learn and suffer with these characters. The first episode is in some ways my favorite, if only for the innocence and the fact that I know what lies ahead for these men. This was when their biggest threats were "Army noodles with ketchup." I love the power move Winters makes by literally grabbing the pen out of Sobel's hand while he was abusing his power...it's brilliant. The old man on the bike still of my favorite scenes "Deary me..." Hard to call this a TV show honestly, it's a 12 hour Saving Private Ryan CURRAHEE! ♠
It was mentioned that it was different back then. This show came out 2 days before 911. I had a bunch of teenagers working for me all of them went into the military or were working to become first responders after the attack. I thought a lot about the opening and how People don’t change that much.
I was in the Air Force for 22 years, and I'm a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq. Your head space is you know it sucks to leave your family, but you have an important job to do. You focus on your mission so you can go back home.
Just came across your channel due to this fantastic series. [You mentioned that perhaps there are “old ideals may not be compatible to today”…such a sad statement to hear. The ideals should be familiar at least….but this is why we’re in such a mess as far as society & culture go today.]. Looking forward to this journey with you. I would suggest taking a pause when commenting over dialogue as there are so many points of critical information you may miss. Cheers!
The part in the training sequence where Sergeant Lipton asks Private White "why aren't you in your PT uniform" and he remains silent, he doesn't go home, he goes to another assignment. Airborne is volunteer, service is not, he went to a standard infantry unit.
The few WW2 veterans that would talk to me about it when I was a teen always said, "You young folks are lucky. There were no nuclear bombs back then, we didn't know if we could win or not. So that's why we went out there."
i mean there were nukes they just had special plans for them lol so i understand what they meant. my great grand father started looting one of each german medal patch or ribbon when he kill one to see how many unique ones he could get, so he never took the same one twice. he did this becuase he was a medic for the Canadian effort and every time he was forced to defend himself he saw his life flash before his eyes and he felt like taking a medal was his reward for surviving that encounter.
27:39 a leader needs to have great connections with the men but being too close with them can hinder a leader mental health over time. Gambling with the them. ‘What if you won?’ This will comeback to him.
"Never put yourself in a position where you can take from these men." I always took that as, you're in a position where you will ask your men for their lives, don't take anything else from them.
Hey Jan, very excited to see you with this series. I must say I do enjoy your anecdotes and thoughts on this. Very excited to follow along with your journey. Make sure to cap off this series with the documentary We Stand Alone Together
This mini series is based on the book by Stephen Ambrose . Its accuracy is of the highest level. We are watching a reenactment of actual accounts. This series is like no other, it’s a testament to the men who Won the war.
This is a true account of the members of Easy Company. It’s Factual. It happened as you see it. If you follow through to the end of the series, your mind will be awakened to realities of war and the sacrifices freedom demands.
28:53 back then, if you wanted to, you could have a family member ship over a personal sidearm for you to use in the field. Whether or not you could use it was largely up to the company commander, but most officers probably wouldn’t care. The same is also true the other way around. If you captured an enemy pistol or even a rifle, you could have it shipped back home to the states to keep. I personally own a Japanese Type 99 Arisaka that has indicators of it being a vet-bringback. This is how a lot of German and Japanese WWII small arms got onto the American collector’s market. Even things like subguns and fully automatic belt fed machine guns entered the country as well.
The cinematography of this show is outstanding. Each episode has its own director and is really well edited. Yes it’s the same company though the whole series. Later episodes will require tissues so be prepared. Especially 6,7, and 9 I think.
I'm so glad you want to learn about our greatest generation. The series follows Easy Compay through the war. The first episode was necessary to introduce you to the characters you'll get to know and love. The fireworks start with episode two. Fasten your seat belt and hang on for one hell of a ride. It will make your spirit soar and sometimes break your heart. In the end, you'll realize it was the most important series you've ever watched. Great reaction, young lady. PS: I subscribed so I can take this journey with you. Looking forward to the next one. CURRAHEE
These are the true stories of the men of Easy Company. Every “character” you see here is an actual person. Every single event you see in this series actually happened, with a very few inaccuracies. So far, I think you have a great appreciation, understanding, and affection for this series. I look forward to your commentary on further episodes. One thing to keep in mind is your editing. I feel like you make too many arbitrary cuts which make the storyline and the dialog too choppy to follow. Other than that, you’re doing a great job so far.
I grew up with many of the Org Troopers from Easy back in the early 90's just after the book came out in 1992 while i was in E/506th Reenacted. I got to drink, sing and listen to stories from these Scallywags. so many good times and epic hangovers. this is a great series BUT they did have to change things esp starting in ep#2 which they have wrong to how things really happened.
Woo hoo! So happy you are taking this journey. By far the best series I have ever seen. An it is 99.9 percent factual. Or the men of Easy Company refused to do it, if it was gonna be Hollywoodized. They are; The Greatest Generation of our Age. They grew up during the Great Depression. Lived through WW1. Fought in the biggest war known to mankind in WW2. Stopped Hitler from Genocide. And Changed the World.
If I told youwich episode I'd spoil it. Have a blanket in studio. 1 episode is filmed in a way a suggestable person feels cold even in a warm room. And you probably over estimate tanks. It's OK, everyone does. Even them at first. There is a reason this short training film was made. th-cam.com/video/taHFUKKKmJM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=88KitHMIrDHfliKn 13:24 training film on facing tanks.
Welcome to the ranks of reactors to Band of Brothers. You catch the overall premises and don't miss the details. After the non-coms get reamed by Col. Sink, they file by Lt. Winters and give him a respectful salute. After Sobel gets reassigned to Chilton-Foliat, he passes Winters in a Jeep and does not return the salute. A classic case of chickenshit facing true leadership. Looking forward to your future reactions. Currahee!
2 minutes in and it's clear you talk over shit when you should be listening - Hmmm. Let's see how this goes...EDIT - oh, I see - weird editing (we don't mind if you pause to talk, you know) - will stay with :)
Hola Xica. A little friendly advice. We're here to see your REACTION to this masterpiece. A little less running commentary. Let the scenes and dialogue play out.
Very insightful commentary. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes. Don’t listen to these crybabies who don’t know how difficult editing can be. They should just watch the series themselves if they want to just watch the series. I also like the editing in unrelated scenes while you talk so we don’t feel like we’re missing dialogue! Brilliant.
How long before you upload next episode? I know you wanna let them marinate before uploading again but 2 weeks apart will take you a quite some time to finish the series. There's only one season, "The Pacific" is like the spin off but in another theater of war. Those are like modern classics if you're into military history or personal stories about survival.
i understand you probably mean that they didn't really have much choice but to go fight the war for multiple reasons, when you say "it was just life back then". but at the same time i disagree as that also implies that it was normal. but the way i see it is that, that's exactly why the allies declared war on Nazi Germany is becuase what hitler was doing wasn't "just how life is". or in other words normal. again not criticizing your word choice or anything i understand what you mean haha just giving my take on it. also drill sergeants are always intense not AS strict as this one all the time but they had to be intense becuase their job is to break you down so they can mold you back up to what they want you to be which is a war machine
18, 19, 20 yos back then saved the fuckin world. Makes u wonder with everything going on in the world today if we’d be able to pull that off again with the fuckboy generation 😅
Just a bit of advice, I know its hard because of copyright issues but you should not talk so much while you're watching. Try to keep the commentary short sweet and to the point and try not to expand your statements so much 😁
Watching your reaction is a little annoying because you're talking relentlessly which instantly tells me that you are talking and not paying attention. Your generation has the unique inability to be a passive observer that way you actually learn and don't keep running your mouth. You say you don't know your history and yet you keep talking. Stop talking and pay attention and use those ears, the brain needs to absorb information young lady, especially your brain.
I know this is just Ep 1 and your fever just broke, but PLEASE try to limit the commentary. I can't catch any of the dialogue if you talk the entire time. That makes the chances of watching all 10 episodes less likely.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t hear the dialogue. The important thing is that she is talking over it so she can’t hear it. She will miss so much this way.
I bailed. The editing made it impossible to follow, and I've watched 18 other Band of Bros. reactions but the stuttering edit where you omit key scene words made it unwatchable. Honor this work.
If you learn from this series what happened in WW2, then consider what is currently happening in Ukraine, you will see that things are not very different in today's world.
Every single one of the surviving veterans say that they hated Sobel but we're VERY grateful for the harshness of his training!! They say it helped them become the best soldiers and probably helped them to survive!!!
I don't think that was Sobel's intention but it wound up being an unintentional BENEFIT to the men!!

he was a Lieutenant at the start of the show.

Very insightful commentary. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes. Don’t listen to these crybabies who don’t know how difficult editing can be. They should just watch the series themselves if they want to just watch the series.
I also like the editing in unrelated scenes while you talk so we don’t feel like we’re missing dialogue! Brilliant.
Bout to get a lot of new people coming to watch you react
How long before you upload next episode? I know you wanna let them marinate before uploading again but 2 weeks apart will take you a quite some time to finish the series. There's only one season, "The Pacific" is like the spin off but in another theater of war. Those are like modern classics if you're into military history or personal stories about survival.
Hey Randy! I actually had it uploaded but it just got taken down due to copyright. Working on uploading it again asap. Thank you for watching!
BoB viewers UNITE
He's not a Sargeant. He's a lieutenant. A commissioned officer. Not a non commissioned officer
New sub,you did just fine
i understand you probably mean that they didn't really have much choice but to go fight the war for multiple reasons, when you say "it was just life back then". but at the same time i disagree as that also implies that it was normal. but the way i see it is that, that's exactly why the allies declared war on Nazi Germany is becuase what hitler was doing wasn't "just how life is". or in other words normal. again not criticizing your word choice or anything i understand what you mean haha just giving my take on it. also drill sergeants are always intense not AS strict as this one all the time but they had to be intense becuase their job is to break you down so they can mold you back up to what they want you to be which is a war machine
It might be a good idea to have someone screen the comments for you…..there’s always some goofball who can’t resist giving you spoilers
18, 19, 20 yos back then saved the fuckin world. Makes u wonder with everything going on in the world today if we’d be able to pull that off again with the fuckboy generation 😅
10 thousand dollars would go as far as $214,410.71 would today just sharing becuase i was curious what the inflation was lol
Are you going to finish Black Sails?
Yes, I am!
@@janandduke4216 Great :) I can't wait
Yes they could've been shot. It's the same as helping the enemy
weird editing style
Thanks for the feedback! It was my first time hiring an editor actually
The first episode is the slowest. But very important. Can’t wait for u to watch the rest
This editing made me actually dizzy 😅,
Sorry about that! I plan on re-uploading with a much simpler edit so please keep a lookout 🙏
@@janandduke4216 thank you so much
Just a bit of advice, I know its hard because of copyright issues but you should not talk so much while you're watching. Try to keep the commentary short sweet and to the point and try not to expand your statements so much 😁
You talk too much...watch sometimes
Dont talk over the video duhh.
Mrs are you Native American??
Watching your reaction is a little annoying because you're talking relentlessly which instantly tells me that you are talking and not paying attention. Your generation has the unique inability to be a passive observer that way you actually learn and don't keep running your mouth. You say you don't know your history and yet you keep talking. Stop talking and pay attention and use those ears, the brain needs to absorb information young lady, especially your brain.
I know this is just Ep 1 and your fever just broke, but PLEASE try to limit the commentary. I can't catch any of the dialogue if you talk the entire time. That makes the chances of watching all 10 episodes less likely.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t hear the dialogue. The important thing is that she is talking over it so she can’t hear it. She will miss so much this way.
I bailed. The editing made it impossible to follow, and I've watched 18 other Band of Bros. reactions but the stuttering edit where you omit key scene words made it unwatchable. Honor this work.
This seems harsh. I thought this was fine. Not sure why the hostility.
you talk to much
If you learn from this series what happened in WW2, then consider what is currently happening in Ukraine, you will see that things are not very different in today's world.
no thanks, won't be watching any more of your reactions to one of my top 10 favorite series.
