* The 7th episode "The Breaking Point" is…well, it is a pretty harsh episode. But there are some chuckle-worthy moments in the midst of the insanity. Points have to go to [[spoiler: Guarnere]] remarking to [[spoiler: Toye]] after [[spoiler: they've both lost a leg in the shelling]] that "I told ya I'd beat ya back to the states, [[spoiler: Joe!]]" Another is a couple of soldiers remarking about the stories about [[MemeticBadass Lieutenant Spiers]], including how Spiers allegedly offered a bunch of prisoners cigarettes before executing them all. At this point, Spiers [[RightBehindMe walks up behind the group]], makes casual conversation…and then offers them all a cigarette. The [[OhCrap looks]] on their faces are priceless.
