I always thought that Dick Winters represented the ideal soldier. Both his portrayal in BoB and his real life demeanor showed a person who had real values, knew what they were fighting for and yet took no pleasure in doing a job that was one of the most difficult one can imagine. I had real respect for him and I think most people that knew him felt the same way. War can change people and yet he seemed to maintain that balance of values without ever losing sight of what was really important. A real professional and great human being.
