TIL Captain Herbert Sobel, portrayed by David Schwimmer in Band of Brothers, landed at Normandy, fought in WW2 and received the bronze star. He later attempted suicide but failed, blinding himself. He died from malnutrition 17 years later. No services were held after his death.

I thought Sobel trained them all up really well (for which they were grateful) but was in general a conniving backstabbing POS who had 0 poise in battle.

Sad nonetheless, but I remember reading that. They all hated him.

This isn’t an example of a ‘disposable man’, it’s an example of a man who was a horrible, mean, petty human being. He didn’t have a service because he alienated everyone he had known (including his family) by his behavior.

It's easy: men have to provide value to others or they can go die in the street.

What this society fears, more than anything else, is men getting any sympathy. Once that starts, it won't be able to charge men for every crumb of acceptance.

Obviously the only American hero is Kyle Jenner, according to SJW's

Joking to make a point.

Shows how disposable men are to feminists and our feminised culture

Good post, its obviously hit a nerve from the number of troll posters who are trying to derail the obvious established issue.

A number of posters who coincidentally chose this to be their rare appearance on the Men's Rights sub when they usually post in female related sub's....

BoB stated some very strong opinions and portrayals of certain individuals that were not always accurate. Take Lt Dike, he's portrayed as a bumbling buffoon unable to handle himself in combat, but the guy won two bronze stars with valor for his leadership in combat.

If he had been female, someone would have taken care of her. Men past working age or ability are worthless (in society's eyes).
