Noticed something interesting watching Band of Brothers. In the first episode with giant POS Sobel, there’s a scene where a new recruit shows up and wants to join the 101st. Sobel tells him he has to make it up and back Curahee in 15 mins.
Later in the episode it’s mentioned that Curahee is 3 miles up, 3 miles down. That’s 6 miles in 15 mins, or 2.5 mins per mile, which is obviously impossible.
Talk about setting a guy up to fail.
