BoB Market Garden scene

[ACED]

I say it was made up, but maybe they were trying to emphasize that if Eisenhower were in charge rather than Montgomery things would've been different. ??. Thats what I figure just my crazy idea.

[Fuzzy Bunny]

Um, US and Commonwealth/British units were generally under their own country's commanders either until very high up in the chain of command or only for special circumstances/individual missions. That sort of order would not come from Montgomery or Eisenhower.

Anywa, there's something to be said for just blanketing an area in massive amounts of ammunition "just in case".

[ACED]

Not like Montgomery told them to do that, but the whole operation Market Garden(where Montgomery was in charge). Anyone know what I'm trying to say? More like the bigger picture, similar to the smaller one. What's his face tells him to shoot a couple rounds in that house, but the British guy is reluctant. Something of that nature.

Makes for great TV, doesn't it? :-)

[ACED]

Super

[LIGHTNING [NL]]

The same scene is in the book, so I doubt it was completely made up.

[Yossarian]

I'm pretty sure that he's screwed regardless.

[Fuzzy Bunny]

What, you mean people not following smart advice and doing stupid crap that gets them in trouble happens in real life? Whoa.

That Operation Market Garden episode is one of my favorite BoB episodes. And yes i agree with Yossarian, lol, what a way to put it :lol:.
