    There are no surviving members of Easy Company. But there are people who remember...

      Somehow I’ve never seen that movie. I need to rectify that soon.

          I thought it was a miniseries. Not a movie. I haven't watched it either.

                I prefer not to watch a bunch of white males "saving the world". If Disney remakes it with young trans women of color social workers, conquering the Nazis not with guns, but with compassion and understanding, then I'll consider it.

                  Would you prefer 'Saving Ryan's Privates'? It could be about an orchiectomy that gets cancelled at the last minute by a band of brothers.

                    Saving Ryan's Privates

                    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221532/

                    During World War II, somewhere in France, Private James Ryan has lost his genitalia in battle--they're missing in action and, that day, his wife Lisa is due to receive three telegrams. An officer sends a platoon, and the platoon leader tells his men, "If that boy and his penis are alive, we're going to find them." When they do find Ryan, he's doesn't want to leave his fellow soldiers, but the platoon leader explains the mission firmly. Private Ryan relents, they shoot their way out, and there's a casualty. Jump ahead 50 years: a grey-haired man kneels at a gravestone as a young man waits beside him. Did someone die in vain, or did Ryan put it to good use?

                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
