Clancy Lyall has a different spin on the Norman Dike story. Lyall, who along with Lieutenant Jack Foley was “right next to Dike,” said their commander had been shot in the right shoulder. That wounding was what caused Dike to stop, not panic, as depicted in the miniseries. “People who saw this movie think the man was a coward because he was hollering, but he got shot in the shoulder,” Lyall said. Lyall said he mentioned Dike’s wounding to Winters at the film’s premiere, saying the filmmakers “shouldn’t do that. The man wasn’t a coward.” “The man has grandkids, and what are they going to say? ‘My grandpa was a coward’? If he was or wasn’t, you don’t do that shit,” Lyall told me. Lyall said what other veterans say about Dike “is their business,” but he feels the movie’s treatment of Dike was unfair. “I don’t care if the man was scared or whatever,” he said. “You don’t go telling everybody. Christ, he was there. That’s more than almost everyone else in the world was, right? Every one of us who was there was scared, and if he says he wasn’t, he’s a damned liar or he wasn’t there. That’s the truth.”

Forrest Guth #here's the thing. i haven't really researched dike and his time with the easy company #but as much as I've read and heard - there doesn't seem to be any official report that he got injured #correct me if I'm wrong #and most of the guys all talked about dike and viewed him in a rather negative light #what dike did afterwards and the medals he got - maybe he was a brave man. or maybe it was mostly decorative/ for the show #the fact is that at that crucial moment dike wasn't able to effectively lead these men #and was replaced with Speirs #just thinking out loud...

i have no idea what allys intentions are ever, but genuinely wondering if, aside from them being hilarious bits, kristen doing basically nothing productive for the campaign is them showing us like hey!!! kristen should not be doing this, she's already so overwhelmed and hasn't figured out any of her previous problems, why tf would we also dump something this big on her!!!! she doesn't know what she's doing get her out of here!!!!
