Band of Brothers

Over the weekend I read a book called Band Of Brothers which is a novel written be Stephen E. Ambrose. This story is about E. Company from the 101st Airborne divison fighting their way through Europe. The story starts with the men in training and earning their airborne wings. None of the men knew what the airborne was or what it had in store for them they just knew it paid 50$ more than infantry. The Airborne is groups of soldiers who jump out of planes behind enemy lines. These men were dropped into the worst combat situations of all regiments and they had the lowest death count. The men of E. company gained one of the greatest brotherly bonds between each other and that is what led them to their great success. When I read that these men were so close the would die for one another I really realized that their brotherly bond, not their skill is what made them such a successful unit.
