Boy, I hear you, duckman. If it were me and that first flak burst was heard, I'd have some new brown gear added to my suit.

Who says they didn't poop their pants? That's not exactly what you add to the memoirs years later.

My brother is in Special Forces and has to do a jump every 90 days or so to stay Airborne qualified - he says it helps if you let a little pee out whenever you go out the door.

Add getting shot at to the mix? My pants would NOT be clean.

No one. Nor was I implying that they didn't. It was a simple statement saying I can't believe they didn't, because as you stated, I certainly would have.

Huh -- kinda reminds me of the last time I flew Delta into Newark.

My grandpa was a flight mechanic over the Pacific, and had to jump more than a few times. 18 years old.

"What was it like Grampa?"
'Well.... Its worse at night. On a moonless night you don't know when you'll hit the ocean, don't know where the other men are, don't know much. Just hit the water and hope someone finds you the next day.' (paraphrasing)

I need to watch this series again.

So do I.

I'll tell you what, if I ever had to do something like that I'd hope like hell that I had someone like Dick Winters leading me.

Vote up for a great series and what I think captures the American European Theater the best.
