Ron Speirs ---- 'Zigaretten ?'

+++ PRINTS INFORMATIONS +++

---

Never accept cigarettes from Speirs !

------------------------------------------

Lieutenant Colonel Ronald C. Speirs is a character from Band of Brothers (portrayed by Matthew Settle) but he was above all a real WWII paratrooper.

Among the men of Easy Company, there were rumors that he gave cigarettes to 20 Nazi POWs, and later shot all but one. He was also said to have shot a drunk Sergeant. He neither denies these, nor confirms them.

------------------------------------------

Speirs : You wanna know if they're true or not, the stories about me? Did you ever notice with stories like that, everyone says they heard it from someone who was there. Then when you ask that person, they say they heard it from someone who was there. It's nothing new, really. I bet if you went back two thousand years, you'd hear a couple centurions standing around yakkin' about how Tertius lopped off the heads of some Carthaginian prisoners.

Lipton : Well, maybe they kept talking about it because they never heard Tertius deny it.

Speirs : Maybe that's because Tertius knew there was some value to the men thinking he was the meanest, toughest son of a bitch in the whole Roman Legion.
