'Jack Ryan' on Amazon Prime Video is fun.


It looked like a special effects and stunt show for the few minutes I
watched it. It will be around so I may give it another shot.


At least it doesn't star Tom Cruise.

And a Captain no less. There are a lot of captains in 'Easy Company', any idea why that is?

No idea at all. My dad was a doctor, perhaps some of the others also.
He was a surgeon at the field hospital in Bastogne featured in episode
6.

There was a major also. Maybe the battalion staff was standing with the company for the photo.

The Major (Winters) was the star of the TV show and actually the XO of
the 506th but he was CO of Easy for most of the European campaign.
I agree that picture seems to be heavy on officers and I don't see a
lot of the names used in the TV show that is fairly accurate from what
I understand. Maybe most of the enlisted guys were working when they
took the picture.
A company is typically around 100 guys isn't it?

Yup, normally. I assume they lost a bunch, but that still seems mighty small to be called a company.

I have a friend who has had a decent, long career as an actor in TV
series and in some Hollywood productions. It's damned unusual.


Sure you do.
