Sink growled and grumbled, but he knew perfectly well he couldn’t send that company into battle with NCOs who had no confidence in their commander.

[zhicaofang]

“ I will NOT follow that man into combat"
One simple sentence says it all.

[PrimarchX]

Reminds me of the later scene where Winters tells Sobel that you salute the rank, not the man. In this scene, they saluted the man.

[Wolf-wcjs]

This mutiny might’ve just saved Sobel. The mutiny was probably the final nail in the coffin to convince Sink to “promote Sobel upwards, ” leaving LT Meehan to take his place on the command plane that would get shot down during the drop into Normandy

[lineygoblue]

Col. Sink read the riot act to those sargents, but he had to know that there was more going on than insubordination or malcontents. Its good he took a long look at Soebel and transferred him out. He likely saved a lot of Easy Company's lives.

[shutup]

he should have revoked their weekend passes instead

[jasonlovelace]

What does it say about one's leadership skills when all of the NCO's would rather risk taking an almost assured bullet from a firing squad than risk taking a possible bullet from an enemy under an incompetent field commander? This scene always hits me that-a-way. Captain Sobel may have been an excellent trainer, drill instructor, but was seemingly totally incompetent in the field. A telling scene this is...

[DaoBao]

irl Harris and Ranney were both demoted to Private and transferred to others companys.

Harris was transferred to A Company of 1st Battlaion. He volunteered to be a Pathfinder, and was killed by a sniper at Carentan.

Ranney was transferred to I Company of 3rd Battalion, but was later able to rejoin Easy Company shortly before D-day. Ranney participated in the Brecourt Manor Asssault, and was awarded a Bronze Star. After Normandy, Ranney was once again promoted to sergeant. Apparently, he was waiting to receive a battlefield commission but accidentally shot himself with a pistol when cleaning it in Holland and that ended his military service. Winters wrote in his memoirs that Ranney was one of the best soldier he had ever known. Ranney organized Easy Company's reunions after the war, and is the man who wrote the famous "company of heroes" quote in a 1982 letter to Winters.

Colonel Sink's voice not returning the salute whilst saying 'Get!', reveals a huge amount of 'for fuck's sake, now this...i should have taken care of this back in Toccoa'

[SamBrickell]

*3:10* Winters is like "boy, the mess cooks get a lot of respect around here"

[LivingCrusader]

Those men knew their chances of surviving combat were better under Winters than under Sobel

[charlesuplifted]

Sink I feel understood the men’s complaint but didn’t want to just let it slide and make them feel as if they can get away with mutiny any time they felt the need to complain

He made the right choice in the long run from this action

The Easy Company "mutiny" has much in common with the 1928 "Royal Oak Mutiny" of the Royal Navy. In that case, it was the two senior officers (captain and executive officer) of HMS Royal Oak who wrote letters of complaint about the conduct of their flag admiral to his senior Adm. John Kelly, commander 1st Battle Squadron. Both men were court martialled, found guilty to varying degrees, and severely reprimanded (one immediately resigning his commission). The flag admiral at the centre of the row, Rear-Admiral Bernard Collard, was admonished as "unfitted to hold further high command" and forced into early retirement. The very public mess attracted the attention (and derision) of the world's press.

Looks like BoB’s back on the menu boys

[brendanmatelan]

3:21, I always like to think that salute they all gave was more out of respect rather than because Winters outranked them. Love this show.

[jonobrien]

Stephen Graham one of my favourite actors
Anything he's in is bound to be good.

[ericericson]

Col. Sink had to make that decision, as he probably had an idea that Sobel wasn't cutting it, but it was easier to find another O-3 than a whole gaggle of platoon sergeants. Sink handled a tough situation well. The sergeants DID salute the man, as a sign of total respect., something Sobel never achieved in Easy Company.

[podsmpsg]

I wouldn't follow Sobel into combat either. No way. He's a good trainer, but a bad leader.

[JakubRosman]

This episode hits differently after I became an Army Officer. It's my job to trust my NCOs and empower them to do their job and shield them from BS. But it really means a lot when they do the same for their superiors.

[edalice]

You gotta love COL Sink’s strategy. He busted SGT Rainey but gave him his stripes back in Normandy. He also recommended him for a field commission to second lieutenant but SGT Rainey got wounded and was sent home.

Sobel came back to the Regiment and was Sink’s S4. Sink took care of his people and loved his regiment. He persuaded 101st Airborne Division Commander Maxwell Taylor to keep him as Regimental Commander until the end of the war.

Sink could easily been a general around 1944 but he loved his “Five-O-Sink” Regiment.❤🦅🇺🇸🎖️💪😎
