collection of ways david webster described various people in parachute infantry (because seeing easy company through web’s eyes was so interesting):

- “captain nixon, a blasé young man who made quite a thing out of being a yale man…captain nixon, who slouched and never raised his voice”

- “the second platoon's calm and fearless sergeant guarnere”

- “the third platoon's fine medic, roe, who had a warm, brave heart”

- “captain winters, the medal winner, who was big and hard and aggressive, seemed like the kind of man who would live forever”

- “his name was speirs. he came from boston. his voice was hard and harsh, his eyes cold and narrow, his teeth stained with tobacco, but his smile was honest and sincere”

- “luz, who was a great mimic and consistently entertaining in both garrison and combat…everybody liked luz.”

- “[chuck] grant, the sunny, quiet, golden-haired boy from california”

bonus: “the driver sighed and lit a cigarette. ‘this goddamn outfit,’ he began as we passed by. ‘don't bitch’—liebgott grinned—‘transfer.’ [liebgott] laughed and went on.”
