Sending Brother to save Brother??
Verfasst von volkstraumSTAFFMOD am 16. Februar 2020 um 12:15
Granted this is the UK and it’s also decades before the Sullivan brothers tragedy, but it seems odd they would put a sibling from another unit in extreme danger in order to save the brother’s battle group. Is there a historical precedent for this?

Perhaps an unintentional precedent. It's just a cheap emotional stunt and sets up another one in the middle and both relate to the one at the end.

Probably made the most sense to send a soldier who had an emotional motivation to succeed seeing as how it was such a sh!t show. Any other soldier might have holed up somewhere and claimed he came under fire and couldn't reach his goal.
Here's a little trivia about the Sullivan brothers: the WW2 film, "Proud" was partially filmed on the SS Sullivan which is sitting in the naval park in Buffalo, NY.

Emotional motivation. They knew the younger brother would do anything to try and save the older.
