Season 1, Episode 2
10/10
Let us not live through wars... Live. In. Peace. Ladies and gentlemen!..
8 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a war... Therefore it has necessarily no winners.

Lt. Richard D. Winters has these abilities we call "leadership" as he and his "Easy Company" could take out nearly 20 Germans along with their machine guns.

The truth is, he never likes any of it whatsoever. That is shooting, bombing or slaying... His "humanity" won't let it. In today's world, troops not only kill "the enemies" but rape their daughters and wives, let alone have compassion for them... So, that special thanks goes to Lt. Richard D. Winters from our hearts, too.

(Mr. Damian Lewis succeeded in giving the character authenticity the war themed series or movies seem to skip sometimes...)

The characters reflect the severity and unforgiving nature of war by their bitter looks and sharp discipline...

The plans as well as the tactical maneuvers are so well-directed that we can follow them easily and decide on their success (Good for both the story and the director.)

The ping, the bombs, the noisy clamor... They were all of a war that surpassed the innocence, one again!.. The killers must be defeated but in Europe!

Not all was acceptable as Lt. Speirs executed the prisoners of war... One should either kill the enemy right off; or after routing them, one should bind a bond firmly on them, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, when the war lays down its loads... So, that was also authentic as not all of the warriors behave "ethically."

Lastly; there is a situation down in the Mesopotamian Lands that can be turned into a good show after the calamity has stricken them off...

At the center of everything, the good people of Aleppo live through a war worse than this every day!.. We feel you, Aleppo. (Do we?..)

(I give this episode a "9,3". Yes!

"...Except for those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or those who approach you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed, He would have given them power over you, and then certainly they would have fought you. If they withdraw from you, and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then Allah alloweth you no way against them."

(4th Chapter called The Women, 90th Verse.)

We have seen the take of the Gracious Koran on the matter. Amen.
