Zim zam goddamn we're airborne infantry

That same night, we came back from outpost and Al said, “I’m gonna hit the sack.” We were tired and cold and hungry, and we got back to the foxhole and tried to sleep. It wasn’t easy to face the night. Living in the ground night after night, in five below zero, the wind whipping through at thirty to forty miles per hour, no bark on the trees, no leaves to protect us. It was very eerie. The snow would drop down your back, it was itchy, and you shivered all night. Finally I dozed off and was lying on my side, and I felt this heavy object come over my leg. I thought the lumber we had over the foxhole to protect us had fallen in on me. But it was Al’s leg. I punched him in the side with my elbow. I said, “Yo Al, what are you doing?!” He said, “Oh, Babe,” and he looked at me and said, “Oh, I’m all right,” and he fell asleep again. So I fall asleep again, and a few seconds later, he’s got his hand inside of my shirt! I gave him a shot in the belly and said, “You son of a bitch, what the hell are you doing?!” He said, “Oh, Babe, Babe, I was dreaming of my wife!” I said, “Well, you ain’t gettin’ nothing here!” They didn’t use this story in the movie. They want everyone to think we’re all American boys!

Dick Winters & Lewis Nixon in BAND OF BROTHERS (2001)

joe plays call of duty at 3am and wakes web up by yelling at 12 year olds over voice chat

nix in the last patrol..... he's literally me

The one who really took advantage of the booze was one of our lieutenants, Lewis Nixon. The guys called him Blue Beard, he needed to shave two times a day, but he never did.

We needed places to stay and the Austrians didn’t want to give up their houses. They were meaner to us than the Germans were. They were big into Adolf. Winters went around and ordered them to get out of their houses. He said, “These men aren’t going to sleep in the ground again. You will get out, or we’ll take further measures.” He’d have thrown them all in prison. Winters was laid back, but if you got him burned up, he was something to see. You didn’t mess with him. If you didn’t take care of his men, he’d see that it happened.

not saying all relationships should be based on the morning person-night owl system but it works so nicely for winnix. on one hand you have dick's crazy ass waking up at 5am to go for an hour-long run, then spending his day productively & efficiently choosing peace by going to bed at 8/9pm. on the other you have midnight princess lewis nixon who wakes up at 9am at the earliest, isn't fully awake until he's had his spiked coffee and is doing the rounds and intelligence work while everyone else is asleep.

“you awake yet?” // “awake? time to go to bed.” that's couple goals fr

I love how Damian Lewis basically said he thought he was cast as Winters because he was a sopping wet dorky loser (unlike the Hollywood actors auditioning for the role) and only a man like that could play stoic Mennonite non-drinker Dick Winters
