This isn't Hollywood. This happened. Spiers was a hell of a soldier.

@fishordie2 I wont forgive him for that. Im not happy that the US went to war with the Germans in the first place.

[fishordie2]

@ZEDSTODT i agree. he did so much for America during the war but was not very much for morals. i read something about how he seemed to get a thrill from killing or something. but i loved how he was portrayed in Band of Brothers. they did delve into his loose morals a little when he killed those German prisoners.

[ZEDSTODT]

@fishordie2 True but he allegedly murdered POW's as well. I havent had time to research the matter further yet but if the allegations are true then it exposes yet another of multitudes of atrocities committed during the war. Very tragic and an indictment on the conduct of the war.

[fishordie2]

@ZEDSTODT i heard about that. that's so very wrong but at least he reported himself.

@naw4hb What if the man was your brother? Id be out for some determined justice.

[xmanrules2001]

@DoubleAgent244 He had to relay orders to move straight ahead and not flank the Germans or else they would've been massacared. The reason he ran through the Germans is because the other unit did not have a radio and the only way to get them the orders was to personally deliver it.

@ZEDSTODT Fuckin right. I'd do the same.
