"We're Paratroopers, We're Supposed To Be Surrounded." - Band of Brothers (2001)  

The Paratroopers are regular airborne soldiers who function as (airborne infantry). This means that they are elite infantrymen who are capable of being PARA dropped behind enemy lines, from where they can make way for the regular infantry, and connect with them.

2nd Lieutenant George C. Rice was a Supply Officer for the 10th Armored Division. When he found out that the Airborne was woefully under-equipped for battle due to being rushed from Mourmelon to reinforce the Allied defense against the German advance at the Battle of the Bulge, he, of his own volition, took a jeep, loaded it with as many blankets, rations, grenades, and ammo cans as he could, and raced to resupply the 506th before the Germans arrived. He completed a total of 9 supply runs, the 7th and 8th of which occurred _during_ the German attack, and the ninth and final one was made _after_ the Germans had completely encircled the entire 101st Division, meaning he had to drive _through_ the German lines to get to the soldiers and then _again_ to get back out. He was preparing a tenth run when he was given a direct order to stand down. For his bravery, Rice was awarded the Bronze Star and nominated for the Medal of Honor.

"Paratroopers? Haha! Wow! That's so crazy!" Haha! Oh my god! Haha! No way!" - Lieutenant Fallon, 1942

Jimmy Fallon needed two people to push his Jeep

Winters: "We're paratroopers, Luietenant. We're supposed to be surrounded." Lt. Fallon: *Starts laughing and clapping*

This serries fuckin had everyone

The only time someone said that Jimmy Fallon was a Godsend

I’m so glad that kid made it out alive. He went on to be a star at SNL and then he got his own late night talk show. Those were the good ol’ days

“They’ve got us surrounded - the poor bastards."

My dad was a paratrooper in my countries military. When he saw this he laughed and when I asked him why he just said "target rich environment"

Was that fookin' Jimmy Fallon? Lol Im surprised he didn't break character and bust out laughing 😆

“I got ammo. Grab what you can.” LT you say such sweet things. ❤

*"We're Paratroopers, Lieutenant; We're supposed to be surrounded."*

Jimmy Fallon places Lt. George Rice, 10th Armored Division, who did, under his own initiative scrounged and brought supplies from Bastogne to the under equipped 101st men who were rushed from France.

Holy crap, that's Conan O'Brien!

I forgot Fallon was an actor.

surprised he wasn't cracking up laughing while delivering his lines.

"RETREAT ? HELL,...we Just got here !" ☆

Lieutenant, you're a godsend. *insert laugh track and Fallon faking laughing as hard as he humanly can*

Legend has it they had to use 12 cameras for this scene and not tell Fallon which one was shooting

This is the best thing Fallon has done in his career.

You are surrounded! Good. No matter where I aim, I will be pointed in the right direction.

I knew a guy who jumped on D-Day with the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. No one achieved more with less than the Canadians on D-Day. It really saddens me how history completely ignores such courageous men.

Loved that line from my paratroopers in COH, "We're meant to be surrounded"

We are surrounded? That’s great! Now, we can attack in every direction!

I like Jimmy as an actor more than a host.

I absolutely Love this show, my heart breaks every single time I watch it knowing that out honored Veterans of WWII are all gone now.

Best line in the entire series.

The hell is Conan doing in WW2?

I think BofB did a great disservice to the 28th ID by portraying them in this way. If it hadn't been for the 28th and specifically the 110th and 109th Regiments, Bastogne would likely have fallen before the 101st Division got there. The division was rebuilding after sustaining over 6000 casualties in the Hurtgen forest the month prior and was covering a 20-mile front when the Germans attacked. The 110th took over 2700 casualties in the first three days of the battle. They didn't run, they traded lives for time. They defended several key crossroads between the Our and Clef RIvers(Hosingen, Consthum, Marnach) against three German divisions before being overwhelmed. They also denied the Clerf River crossing at Clervaux for several days, which threw off the German timetables and delayed them just long enough for the 101st to deploy around Basogne.

One of the greatest shows of all time

Watched it again recently its still just as good the good ol boys talking at the start still hit me in the gut makes me feel so small rightfully so those lads were giants they truly earnt theyre title the greatest generation

Alamo in the Ardennes is the book about all the men who sold their lives dearly slowing the Germans down so that the 101rst could have time to get to Bastogne. Without those forgotten heroes, Bastogne would have turned out differently and more men would have died to retake the territory lost.

Holy crap. That’s Jimmy Fallon! Dick Speight is in this scene, too. It’s like every famousish actor was in Band of Brothers!

Thank you for your service private Fallon

I suddenly want to see Jimmy and the Roots do the theme from "Patton" with pre-school instruments.

The last quote says it all

Paratroopers are just a different breed

Holy shit thats Eric Andre

Not well mentioned in Histories was that the men depicted retreating in disorder were most likely survivors from elements of Team Cherry 10th Armored and CCR 9th Armored Division, plus troops from the 28th Infantry Division that were caught between two German forces and pounded to bits by artillery on the Longvilly Road near Margeret.

Damn, that's Jimmy Kimmel.

The difference in acting chops is astounding here, surprised this made it to the end.

Thats the most Jimmy Fallen has acted like a real man!... Ever! He is a good actor, its a shame he didn't have a bigger role in ghis series!

We're paratroopers, we're supposed to be surrounded" great line. Airborne!!

An army that does not stop cannot lose

What a sick line, "we're supposed to be surrounded". Bro Winters is such a g

My grandfather served with the 101st during World War II. He was trained as a paratrooper but the Army placed him with the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment instead. He nearly lost his toes to frostbite during the Battle of the Bulge. He had to be airlifted to England in order to save his toes.

I'm surprised he didn't break out singing.

lol it’s Jimmy Fallon’s one good acting credit 🤪

Jimmy Falons best performance ever

Probably the Best WW2 movie mini-series, I have ever watched!

We’re paratroopers we’re supposed to be surrounded😎👍🏻Boss reply !!

Outstanding show, I Bing watched it not too long after I got for Ft. Campbell when I first got into the Army.

I kinda hate jimmy Fallon as a comedian I feel like his every word is kind of cringe. Now I'm thinking maybe he missed his calling. Pretty good here.

Wow it’s Lonnie Donagan!!!

My grandpa was a paratrooper. He had a brevard golf hat he wore that I found the other day. I lost my mom at the same time I found it so it’s been a big comfort. I’m really thankful for what he did. Mom used to say he could work the field all day, before my health declined I aspired to be the same. She said he saved a life of another in his company and was shot when he carried the other man back. They hit 20 miles behind enemy lines and had to make their way back to the front because of a bad jump. He received a Purple Heart I think and came back to the area and opened a radio station.

"Looks like they have us surrounded. The poor bastards."

Jimmy Fallon?

Best cinematic contribution that Fallon has made.

I'm so impressed that Jimmy Fallon didn't giggle at himself here.

at the end of the vid i instantly heard "JIMMY FALLON WITH A HAT ON!" in my head, lmao

When you jump in the middle....surrounded is not a word.

LT. Fallon: (laughs) Let me just tell you, you're the greatest. LT. Fallon meets another soldier: You're just the greatest.

“We got ‘em now.”

Reminds me of a quote attributed to then-Colonel Chesty Puller at the battle of Chosin Reservoir in December 1950 when told he and his men were outnumbered by 26-1 by Chi-Com soldiers: “We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things" And: “All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time.”

Out standing Jimmy k real actor wow

Jimmy de niro fucking nailed it

You make me wanna watch the whole series again

Just now, realizing Jimmy Fallon had a part in band of Brothers.

"We're paratroopers lieutenant - we're supposed to be surrounded." "HAHAHAHA **pounds desk**"

Stampede scene is gonna end up being a close call where Mufasa says “that was close I hope that never happens again”

I felt like at any moment he was going to break character and laugh

This scene was taken right out of Battleground, released 1949.

How sweet...❤why didnt you stay at home? Havin fun there..and stay alive..!!

I desperately hope we can get another show that's as good as Band of Brothers, this show is the peak of WW2 Cinema.

They got us surrounded the poor bastards

Holy... thats Hannibal Burress

I half expected him to start giggling at the camera

Coming in on the Truck - 🎶HEY HEY AY HEY!!!🎶

That line is burned into my mind having played COH.

Watched this series at least 5 times. It will give you a new level of respect for ww2 soldiers and soldiers in general and let you feel real pride for your country. Something we lack so bad these days. I feel like it should be mandatory to watch this show to become an American.

One of the best and last historical series HBO!!!

“We’re paratroopers lieutenant, we’re supposed to be surrounded”. That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say Jesus Christ these boys were bad ass

Hes stareing right at the camera. Classic jimmy

*It takes to be the bravest of them all to become a paratrooper*

Jimmy Fallon nailed it as Leutenant Rice

Seeing jimmy manhandle that wheel makes me wonder how drunk he was shooting this scene

Elite✨

The paratrooper in his natural habitat.

I heard this one scene took two weeks to shoot because Fallon kept smiling at the end.

Holy shit i never realized that was Jimmy Fallon😂

Good god how fucking terrifying it must’ve been to be told by the soldiers walking in the other direction “you need to get out of here, but if you’re going to go fight, fine but take all the ammo I have because you are going to need it.” and the paratroopers don’t skip a fucking beat. They’re told there’s thousands of Germans with artillery, tanks and all kinds of heavy weaponry and the paratroopers just do not give a fuck literally just asking for more ammo to get rid of these Germans and be on to the next fight. These guys are absolute warriors and their ability to just not be frightened by overwhelming numbers and seemingly impossible odds is so commendable. Also makes you damn proud and happy these are/were the guys who were fighting for us, I couldn’t imagine being a German knowing the Americans are coming from one side and the Russians are coming from the other and there is simply no escape you either fight the horde of highly trained soldiers coming or you die trying. Which is arguably so much worse of a situation to be in, but fuck em they’re nazis.

My grandfather was a paratrooper. Almost got wiped out in Italy somewhere.

Lt. Fallon: "I'm about to make another run, is there anything you need?" Sgt. Walken: "We're gonna need more cowbell."

Some twenty years after the battle, General McAuliffe praised the men of the 10th Armored “Tiger” Division saying, "It’s always seemed regrettable to me, that Combat Command B of the 10th Armored Division didn’t get the credit it deserved in the battle of Bastogne. All of the newspaper and radio talk was about the paratroopers. Actually, the 10th Armored Division was in there a day before we were and had some very hard fighting before we ever got into it, and I sincerely believe that we would never have been able to get into Bastogne if it had not been for the defensive fighting of the three elements of the 10th Armored Division who were first into Bastogne and protected the town from invasion by the Germans.”

My older brother was a sergeant in the 101st. Vietnam on the DMZ. His second tour. Dear old dad made two combat jumps into Communist China during the Korean War. He was a civilian.

Winters is the MAN!!!

The logi run saves the day

As soon as Jimmy Fallon shows up in suddenly looks like an SNL skit.

Jimmy not laughing, that ain't right
