Sue, I'm watching it religiously. I first read Dr. Ambrose's book years ago, when it first came out (I was working at the South Side Library then) and I immediately went out and bought my own copy. It think that Donnie Whalberg as Carwood Lipton, Ron Livingston as Lewis Nixon, and the guy that plays Dick Winters are all excellent for the parts. The rest of the cast is equally as talented, IMHO.

What a moving and gut wrenching mini series. Sue* -------Original Message------- I don't know if the training is different now but when I was sent to Korea in the fifties we were told it is better to wound the enemy than kill him. An army could be totally crippled by a lot of wounded because the logistics to provide the care takes an incredible amount of people and resources as opposed to just leaving the dead laying around. I don't think I am a trained killer. I have fired 30 and 50 caliber machine guns, M1 and Carbine rifles, 45 caliber side arms. Also some artillery and B.A.R. weapons. I am home for almost 50 years and have yet to find a need to purchase a weapon or gun of any kind. Having said that I am absolutely opposed to gun control of almost any kind. I am for nutso control though.
