Band of Brothers - Easy's examinations

[thedoors919]

aaaaahhh, Unagi

[TnAsEpicAdventures]

private bullshit xD

[britcockney]

Does something similar still happen nowadays in military bases? I mean, just because of some men's faults, everyone of a platton or a company's lose their weekend pass.

[Andreaspaw]

@britcockney Yeah.

[lordazn]

@britcockney Yup, my instructor back in Basic always said, "The actions of a few, affect the many!"

[lonewolf604]

WE WERE ON A BREAK 

[NIHMusic]

@lonewolf604 xD When I see Sobel I can only think of Ross

[snakes3425]

It's true every Easy Comapany soldier hated Sobel's guts and would've more then loved to frag him if he led them into combat. But after the war a lot of the men have said if Sobel hadn't been so hard on them in Basic they probably wouldn't have survived the amount of combat they were in during the war

[MrAznPillow]

He seems like a really good leader here but during combat training he sucks balls! Haha

[Benno828282]

I remember when I first saw this i'm like 'oh not that douche from freinds', but have to say he did a great job.

[caporalchef4]

It's called an inspection, not ''examination''.

[Phack00]

If they hated Sobel, he was doing it right. And he did.

[foof811]

My great uncle was part of the 101st Airborne, and he was "inspecting" (looting) a french house, and he loaded the silverware in his pack and set off from the house. just then as he was walking with a patrol down the road, a German sniper aimed and shot him in the back. Luckily, the silverware stopped the bullet, and saved his life. He didn't even have time to pick up a spoon after the bullet, and the silver ware exploded out of his pack, ripping it to shreds, but it saved his life. True Story.

[neanderpaul14]

I would have fragged him in training.

[drnogood59]

@neanderpaul14 He would probable say, "what you call this fraging!? I saw rust on the pin! Weekend pass revoked private now run Currhae 5 times for you incompitance to properyly frag me! How do you expect to frag Germans if you can't frag me! Next weekend pass revoked!"

[KidChaos878]

Dang Sobel hit Liebgott on his head. If he knew what Liebgott was capable of doing to German troops, Sobel would be shitting bricks.

[Jshell123]

personally I reckon Sobel is too complicated to say hes either Great or terrible, it was too long ago to get accurate record of exactly what he was like, you can ask officers/privates etc but never know background story, I reckon he was misunderstood did his job well but if i was under his command i'd probably hate him too..

[Karash770]

Man, Ross is being a jerk, probably been having some troubles with Rachel lately.

[Patioevra]

i like him

[Kilooscarromeo]

Sobel had too be a sob, war isn't fun & games. Have to get used to the unexpected & learn how to cope with bullshit fast asap is better. If 1 couldn't cope with bullshit in training , would you want that guy beside you in the feild? I wonder if Sobel ever did see combat, fire fight. Having that experience would be a very good aset. Should be a prerequisite for training men even a very close exp to combat

[wynternight777]

@Kilooscarromeo As far as I know he never did see action. He was transferred to training then logistics. He was recalled to service in Korea but I don't know if he saw action there.

[jimslim94]

right when i saw the intro credits for this i saw david schwimmer, so i thought no way can he play a hardass, and look at this haha.

[sidwerd1hater]

I always imagine Sobel screaming "I married a lesbian so you could do well!" (line from Friends)

Also, 0:53 WTF?! Did they not finish building the set?!

[policevancan]

@sidwerd1hater No, in a lot of movies and pictures there are half build barracks everywhere.

[carmenluvinray]

@sidwerd1hater no, theyre building more cabin things so, they could get more men trained.

[KarakuraRiser]

lol I can feel with them, you clean up for an entire hour and still they find a little fking part of dust -.-! :@

[redneckprinces]

Soilders of the regiment tonight is the night of nights

[deltaforcexyz]

YOU PEOPLE ARE AT THE POSITION, OF ATTENTION !!!

lol

[SgtSamProductions]

Sobel makes em all look short lol

[mujuma]

Yeah, he makes them look short because his heads a mile long.

[DonCorleone87]

Malarky slang for BULLSHIT haha

[stringerboi]

sobel MADE them into the fighting force they were in WW2. he may have been an asshole and a dick, but they became hardasses because of him

[a55kiker]

I agree, he was a good trainer. Perhaps not good in combat. But great at getting men ready for it.

[Sobbeh]

If you've read the book, you'll see that all the men, although they hated Sobel, almost unanimously they recognised that all the PT he put them through gave them an advantage over both their peers and the Germans.

[SgtSamProductions]

He made them into "hardasses" but he tried to make them fight alone which is bad

[9083473893]

um what?

[SgtSamProductions]

@9083473893 He thought that they were going to worry about themselves and not help each other

[Miskatakeable]

Lipton should've kicked that motherfucker's ass

[zimpiko28]

Malarky? Malarky's slang for BULLSHIT isn't it?

PVT. BULLSHIT FTW

[TrueArKonIte]

Malarky actually died last week. Sad face.

[zimpiko28]

That sucks hard. Malarky was one of my favorites.

[teeheee903]

what ? omg. ):

[RealDirtyKillah]

nope.

[CarolinaSkunkApe]

no malarkey is still alive and well

[671cing]

haha i love how he hits Liebgot's helmet with his bayonet and when he says: malarky is slang for bullshit isn't it.

[TheMrMadass]

Liebgot, Joseph D. , sir .... i luv it

[jackattack502]

Sobel could've made a better career as the CO of training platoons. He just wasnt fit for combat at all. its really sad how he lost easy company, and how he hated his life after that.

[speedy135789]

Captain Sobel Wasnt a great CO, he was tested by Major. Horton and he walked into the ambush instead of waiting, and he Gave people Revoke/cancels too often, he gave Luitinant Nixon (Captain at end) A revoke for saying that A can of peaches was a can of peaches, other than it was Army Property, And he gives Luitinant Winters (Major at end) Mess duty when he was promoted to first luitinant, But when he was a captain, captain sobel returned as the SP4, Supply officer for easy

[alchemistamnael]

Funny part about that is, while SP4, he made an order that everyone had to turn in their D-Day Maps. Winters, who had sewn his into his uniform, wrote into Sobel, mimicking Anthony McAughlin saying, "Nuts. Signed Major Richard Winters."

He talks about it in his book.

[alchemistamnael]

However, Major Winters also states in his book that it was the toughness of Sobel that made Easy Company the best Company in the 506th. Winters admits Sobel was a cruel, hated man, but he also states that Sobel was good at readying Easy for the war. Winters himself had a grudge with Sobel, and actually went on Court Marshall for not cleaning the Latrine at a specified time. (which Sobel changed without telling winters) During this time, Major Strayer, (XO) transfered Sobel from Easy.

[speedy135789]

colonel strayer, major is major horton/Winters

[alchemistamnael]

Actually, Lieutenant Colonel Strayer. During the war, he was XO to Colonel Sink, and he held the rank of Major. After Operation Market Garden, Winters was promoted to Captain, and Strayer was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. By the end of the war, Winters was a Major, Sink was a Brigadier General, and Strayer was CO (Colonel) rank of the 506th PIR.

All in Winter's book...

[pinos1992]

Winter said in the book band of brothers that Sobel was the man woho created and made the 101st the best the army ever had. Without winter they never could have fight like tehy did

[NarutoDude134]

I hate Caption Shitbel!!!!!!!!!!

[stcobra]

Marlakey slang for bullshit isnt it-----------lol

[Talithaaaaa]

Nixon looks so... clean. (?)

[whereurears]

Haha I noticed that to! He get's so mangy towards the end of the series don't he lol. I love him though.

[worldwar2guy]

private bullshit

[TMoorej]

they all hated Sobel, but alot of the men confessed that his training did make them tougher, and probably saved their lives

[TheDarkNobleOne]

@TMoorej

I can't sobel seriously, he always reminds me of Ross from friends

[druidzown]

haha malarkey is slang for bullshit. rust on the butt plate private bullshit. ROFL!
