| I usually don't like literature material dealing with war. But, this was an exception. This was a great read, well put together, lots of good word choices. I'd say 9. and #5 i think fan fics are a better read than most battlereports. |

man you have stolen so much from saving private ryan and band of brothers that i wont bother citing examples
im assuming that you are doing it out of respect for those pieces of work |
| #11 SupeRc0pKr[141401] |

the only bits that i might find suspect are the Ranger's "we don't need to be fucking saved from anything" quote and the shooting of German POWs, both of which can be compared to events in Band of Brothers.
however, the airborne lieutenant in Band of Brothers was not the only soldier to commit such atrocities throughout the course of the Normandy campaign, and the toughly arrogant attitude depicted in the airborne troopers during the siege of Bastogne was not confined specifically to the airborne army.
the earlier chapters, while centered around the same general places and events, portray different D-Day actions than those seen in Saving Private Ryan, though understandably a comparison can be drawn from them.
there has been no literary, thematic, or symbolic theft of any sort; all of what i have written has been based on historical study and my own perception of the human condition. |

it is considered plagiarism

were you to give credit to those movies then it would not be

then the POW murder in band of brothers would also be considered a plagiarism, as several books and movies have depicted the same action - "Anvil of Victory" by Alexander McKee, "Citizen Soldiers" by Stephen E. Ambrose, and the movie "Stalingrad."
Saving Private Ryan would be considered a plagiarism because several scenes take place on the same locations and around the same people as seen in "The Longest Day."
i don't see how any of that is actually plagiarism when the focus and meaning are different in each movie or book. |

having a lietenant kill a platoon worth of prisoners is almost identical to what happenned in band of brothers and then having other characters be sickened and awed is almost identical to what happenned in band of brothers
if you submitted this as a fiction in a class with your name on it you would fail on grounds of plagiarism
i am not trying to insult you here; I am just telling you how it is
and having the line "We didn't need to be fucking rescued from anything" is almost identical to that guy Joe's line from band of brothers; i think his line was "We didnt need to be fucking rescued by Patton." the character that said it also had a bandaged arm in the movie
that is almost verbatim and the actor had the same physical damage
that would also be considered plagiarism
Ambrose also got called on plagiarism but he was never really punished for it because he died the next year

other than that i did enjoy the story very much
sorry for not mentioning that first |

my point is a scene depicting an officer, NCO, or enlisted man shooting down POWs is not a copy-righted idea or passage, it is a fact of history. it can be considered band-wagon, but there is no real plagiarism.
soldiers have been described as sickened and awed since Stephen Crane's "Red Badge of Courage." it is not a specific detail, it is a general observation, though writers have attributed different significance to that as they have interpreted. |

i will admit the wounded Ranger and Joe case does come rather close, but i don't believe that they are so identical that it could be considered plagiarism. they hold different interpretations - Joe's statement was meant to convey courage and bravery, the Ranger's quote was significant in that it showed that the spirit of the men was more willing to be destroyed than to be saved from destruction.
i am not taking offense to any thing, as any and all criticism against this story is understandable. but if the story is guilty of anything it is of being cliche, not a plagiary. |
