Milsurp,

I've watched BoB, perhaps too many times...even my wife can name all the players! Never saw Dike lying dead, but I do see new things when I watch each time. Could you describe that scene?

I'd heard that Ambrose was a little loose on details at times. It is very interesting to have read all the biographies put out by the different people represented in BoB such as Compton, Malarky, Winters, etc. Get the low down on the specific instances and each through those particular eyes...and adds to the movie when you see it...again.


Thanks,

Sully
