This is a rough one, you guys. It's pretty much non-stop from beginning until end, with Easy Company losing quite a few of their men due to horrific wounds, emotional burn out, or death. Winters' hands are tied and he can't get rid of their useless CO, until Dike almost gets more of the men killed. Enter Lt. Spiers!We have a lot of links for you with this one, because so much happened to so many people.
