Some time ago in a ww2 forum, I read a post that basically said this:
“You mean Ambrose didn’t coin the term Band of Brothers?”
Sometimes I have these moments where I’d like to scream through the computer and say something bad, like “mix in some other kinds of reading now and then, eh?” But I don’t. That person is probably real young and just beginning her/his journey as a student of history.
So just for fun, let’s watch some youtube, specifically a five minute scene Shakespeare’s Henry V, where we learn that the term “band of brothers” predates WWII and Mr. Ambose by a few years. Enjoy.
