What did he mean by this?

>I never realized it before but in this scene all Miller does is send most of his guys to their deaths while Horvath criticizes him.
The whole bunch of guys who storm the German fortifications are his men though, he's a captain, which means he commands a company, which is around 150 guys depending.

He wanted Parker to bust a move and get funky

Oh so you weren't there and are just an underage role player. kek and the other loser calling you sir.

The pathetic man animal's dome is about to be blown.

Both world wars were like that. Human lives were not as important as nowadays, in the sense that there wouldn't be so much political backlash if you sent thousands of men to a certain death.

In Europe, some cities were burned to the ground with 0 (zero) strategical advantage, but you didn't hear much protestations on the other side of the Atlantic.

The sergeant seemed to care

>>84799167
It was a sideshow. They wanted him out of the way.

>>84799003
Depends, lets say during D day his company was fighting against a company sized force that was well entrenched around their artillery (the objective). They have their sectors of fire, cover and time.

Miller's men ended up taking the objective so we can assume a 90%+ casualty rate for the Germans (around 500?). Which isn't to bad considering Miller was going off little Intel with no time to assault the position.

A lot of officers got canned following D-Day because of incompetence. If Tom Hanks made the cut he was probably worth something to military command.

Is France even real?

Hanks is steadily cracking up throughout the movie, and makes poorer and poorer decisions. His trembling hands are a visual clue, as are his attempts to justify himself in the church scene.
