Band of brothers

I saw Band of Brothers for the second time Sunday and today (I have A LOT of spare time, I'm still on sick leave) and it was even better than the first time. Especially the interviews with the remaining few of the original gang are moving to watch. The second world war was the last undeniably "good" war, the last in which there was a good and a bad side for all to see. Now there's all sorts of nuance and gray areas and conspiracy theories and media made ambiguity. Honestly, if the situation arose, I'm not sure most of western Europe could fight anymore, or at least would want to.

The men of Easy company on the other hand, simply did their job. 65 years later we're still in their debt, still thankful for their sacrifice. CURRAHEE.
