"I'd Like To Resign As Company First Sergeant." - Band of Brothers (2001)  

After Germany surrendered on 8 May, Speirs decided to stay and prepare to fight in Japan; however, Japan surrendered in August and the war ended. After the war, Speirs and his first wife divorced because she wanted to stay with her close-knit family in England instead of following Speirs to America. They had one son together. Speirs eventually volunteered to fight in the Korean War and was commander of a rifle company, making one combat jump. Speirs attended a Russian language course in 1956 and eventually was made a liaison officer to the Red Army. He subsequently became governor of Berlin's Spandau Prison in 1958, but returned to the US Army and was on a mission to the Royal Lao Army in 1962. He retired from the Army in 1964 as a Lieutenant Colonel and stayed with his family in California. Speirs died in Montana on 11 April 2007. Among the men of Easy Company, there were rumors that Speirs gave cigarettes to 20 Nazi POWs and later shot all but one, but this account was later reduced to six POWs. He also shot a Sergeant for being drunk and insubordinate: Speirs reported this to his own commander, who stated he would consider reporting Speirs for charges, but the commander was killed in action shortly after and the matter was never pursued. In an interview with Major Dick Winters late in his life, when asked about Speirs he confirmed that Speirs by his own verbal admission, and in a written letter stated he committed both acts.

Speirs had no fear. Not towards his enemies, nor his superiors. But he genuinely cared for those under his command.

From BoB book: When Captain Speirs got back to England in the summer of 1945, he discovered that the English “widow” he had married, and who had borne his son, wasn’t a widow at all. Her husband reappeared from a P.O.W. camp. She chose him over Speirs, and the couple kept all the loot Speirs had shipped back from Europe.

Speirs was born to airdrop into enemy positions and lead men

I absolutely love Seattle's portrayal of Speirs. He did a fantastic job. He's managed to make him intense and very intimidating but with such a wonderful subtelty. His Speirs is creepy in the best way possible. You feel weirldy unsettled watching him but can't pinpoint why haha

“So you’ve decided to stay in the the army?” “Yes, I’m gonna stay with the men.”

Winters take on this scene from his memoir: Talbert asked to be relieved from his duties as 1st Sergeant due to a personality conflict with Speirs

If the book had been around Spiers, even then the show would be just as fascinating. Legendary men.

The actor playing Winters is a Brit! For goodness sakes... what a great actor to pull off sounding like an American! I loved this Band of Brothers TV series.

Speirs in the end was the CO the company needed and deserved.

I feel like speirs deserved his own dedicated episode

Speirs (in the show) looked like a proper sunnyboy, with his hair always fresh and generally youthful appearance, you'd never suspect he's one of the most legendary soldiers in history.

That Lt Peacock, eventually ended up as a captain and eventually worked in a department store.

Sparky!

Truly a band of brothers.

I absolutely loved this show

This was our greatest generation these men saved us all❤

Great mini series...shows us the sacrifice now prepare all to do it again when ebs hits...if you know u know ..the storm is here

Fantastic series!! ❤

Passing off the First shirt

I have a soft spot for neutral endings, as they genuinely feel much more...rewarding in a way. Like your actions actually do matter in the game, and it gives everything a sense of personality. My favorites are the King Papyrus, (so cool and nice to see Sans supporting his bro!) Empress Undyne (Caused Horror and Axetale) Pissed off Sans and Undyne ending (so badass.)and the few citizens left along with Sans ending. I would like to think that if they were to get out, some of them would go seeking revenge against the human. Maybe even Sans, or perhaps in his case, "Judgement."

It’s awesome that I can watch the entire band of brothers series in RU-vid shorts and don’t have to pay for HBO

Speir's "Let me know, if he gives you any trouble" shows how he values his now demoted SSGT. higher than Lt. Peacock. He knows his men

Speirs should have offered a smoke to his soviet liason

IN OTHER WORDS. "I'm no Desk Jockey. "-

Terminator predictive programming

Its weird to think, did Easy company still exist in 101 after the war? 501, 2nd battalion, wasnt it?

Greatest Generation 😊

Came along way from the Renford Rejects.

loot is not enough...so he stay

Speirs was born in the UK, Edinburgh. His English wife did not wish to emmigrate to the US, so he remained behind in Britain. His son became a Lt Col in the British Army 🇬🇧

Spiers a true son of Scotland

It’s distracting how he stands with his head tilted to keep his face in the light

Speirs is all about practicality.

We never salute unless correctly dressed with headwear

I guess you earned the right to demote yourself. 😂😂

The actor playing Speirs, Matthew Settle, is very good ... and very handsome when he's not being Speirs.

Is that the guy from Gossip Girl? Dan and Jenny's dad👁️👄👁️

First they dropped and a Little Boy on Japan, then a Fat Man. Next was going to be Speirs.

Floyd didn't care much for Spiers. Which might have been part of the reason he would do this.

I can watch this series again if my wife would let me.

Only in a movie, would the US Army EVER do something reasonable !

What bullshit peacock went back to the states and never returned

Imagine if Speirs committed more war crimes on PoCs.

Ban you tube

Speirs resembles Zhao Zilong in the famous Chinese Three Kingdoms video game
