Speirs was probably one of my favorite characters from Band of Brothers.
His bad @ss rep/attitude & that run thru the enemy at Foy

(In my platoon our 1st Sgt (former Ranger) reminded me a lot of Speirs. The man could inspire, and I'll tell you this, had he told me that we were invading hell armed only with water buckets, I'd been passing out the buckets & been right beside him! )
