Having been a witness to the We Were Soldiers episode from 500'AGL for several sorties, I found it to be the most accurate reenactment of a battle I've seen. My late father said the same about the first scene in SPR. Band of Brothers was the most accurate in relation to the banter and conduct of offiers and men when not in battle.

The customs and courtesies as well as the necessary separation and non-fraternization of enlisted - offiers were almost flawless in Band of Brothers. Long time military wives understood it but to listen to a recently minted wife of the 0-3 son was an experience. She shortly thereafter received a copy of ''The Officer's Wife'' manual.
