Talk:Carwood Lipton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Fact Check?

I don't know the factual history of the Easy Company, but I have seen the BoB series. That probally isn't saying much as I don't know how much of it is fact. But the section of this article where it tells of Lipton running like a madman to link with the rest of a scattered group of soldiers was depicted as Speirs in the series. In the movie this action only added to the "legend" of Spiers, and in the movie Lipton narrorated the sequence ending with ".. after it all, he came back."

Agreed - the 101st never took part in the assault on Arnhem, I deleted a portion of the article which referred to that. That's bunk, the 101st assignment during Market-Garden was south of Arnhem.

[edit] ...

Whoever wrote this based most of it off the BoB series and perhaps not so much on fact

The article is structured off the HBO mini-series, so that definitely needs to be changed, especially the narrative tone inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. It sounds too much like a summary of each episode. The facts are there though; we just need to separate them from the televised information. --Scottie theNerd 10:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
