Six screenshots: Eugene Roe
“Lord grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love, with all my heart.”

T/4 Eugene Roe, Bastogne 01x06
An infantryman’s job is to deliver his enemies into the waiting hands of Death. It is Doc’s job to protect his brothers from Death, to knock him aside and say, “Not today.”

As much as I love this scene, I’ve always wondered why Roe says, “You are grown-ups.”
Then I realized some of the “men” in Easy Company were 18 or 19 years old. Eugene himself is only 22 here. He’s 22-years-old and he’s running around a forest in Belgium catching the spilled guts of his friends and shoving them back into their bodies and binding them up with strips of bed sheets! And he as no medical training beyond first-aid he learned as a boy scout and probably a couple of instructional days during bootcamp! No wonder he started getting the 1,000 mile stare!
He’s 22-years-old and he’s yelling at and scolding his superior officers and CO! And while Lt. Welsh looks like he might say something, Cap. Winters is just like, “Yup, we screwed up. You’re right.”- Which is part of the reason why I think Winters watches over Doc Roe in Bastogne.

“He was openly friendly, genuinely interested in us and our physical training. He was almost shy - he wouldn’t say ‘shit’ if he stepped in it. He was an officer who got the men to perform because he expected nothing but the best, and ‘you liked him so much you just hated to let him down’. He was, and is, all but worshiped by the men of E Company.”Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose
