It's worth it. Lt Winters is pretty much the main character during the whole series. I got the DVD set for Christmas the year it came out. Watched it 3 times already

Great thread, Sam. Dick Winters is just the epitomy of the American citizen soldier. What an outstanding leader - always thinking of the troops and the mission first. (Too bad Weasely Clark didn't get any of those genes.)

I agree the "Bank of Brothers" series is very good, although I thought it got a little dark near the end. I still chuckle at the end of the story at the delicous irony of these soldiers who saw so much hard fighting being rewarded with a billet at Berchtesgarden and the free run of Goering's liquor stock.
