Military Power

Everyone who watched HBO's 'Band of Brothers' series remembers Captain Herbert Sobel as a martinet and an inept field officer, who was hated by all in his company and eventually removed from command. The onscreen image was of a thoroughly unlikeable character. Yet Easy Company veterans acknowledge that he was the man who made them what they were and helped them to survive the war.
While browsing the net, I came across this, which I felt helped me to understand more about him:

SOBEL

Having read it, I found sympathy for a man who seemed to me to be sad, lonely and troubled. He was trying to do his duty as he saw it.
For all his obvious faults, I think he deserves some respect and a better memory, therefore I would like to consider him a Hero.

R.I.P., Captain Sobel.

Hmmm... I see where you are going there. I think they actually touched on that some in the episode "Currahee".
