NAHHH THE LOOK WINTER GIVES HIM I'M DYING !! 🤭🤭🤭🤭 (I think he's jealous)

[...]Winters was informed about the patrol. “Damned fool,” he muttered. He turned to Welsh. “This sounds like an ego trip, Harry. Alert Fox Company. Have them be on the lookout and not to get trigger happy.” “Yeah, right,” Welsh said. Then he forgot. That night on the lonely, darkened Rhine River, Leach’s patrol was spotted by alert American sentries. Machine gun fire from Fox Company’s 2nd and 3rd Squads raked the water, sweeping the hapless soldiers, some with the words “don’t shoot” screaming from their lips, from their bullet-riddled boats. Six days later the bodies of Leach and his four men were fished from the Rhine downstream, at Sturzelberg. In his heart, Winters held two people responsible for the senseless tragedy. Mainly he blamed Leach for taking out a patrol that was a high-risk venture for little or no purpose. He also found fault with Welsh who, as he had when Moose Heyliger was wounded six months earlier, failed to alert those most in need of alerting. “He heard me,” Winters later said of his friend. “But sometimes he didn’t absorb what he was hearing.”
