Just discovered this show just recently. As it shows the men of the King's Company troop go through war and shows them as humans. Who had to fight a war to win and their mental, emotional, and physical strengths and weaknesses.
Even Steven Spielberg loved the show so much, he used this for "Saving Private Ryan."
The men lead by Lt Gil Hanley(Rick Jason), and Sgt Chip Saunders(Vic Morrow). As they would be for five years, and 152 episodes. Sorting out dangers while winning a war. That had to be won.
How they fought one battle to move to the next. Knowing that they would have to win at all costs. Regardless of consequence.
We see the men grow and develop character wise. Especially Saunders, but sadly we did not see that in Hanley. Wished that we would have.
Still the show is a balance between man vs war. Showing the human side and showing the emotions that they face. In WWII!
