Eddie Slovick
Thanks Cpt Koester,
Watched "The Lost Battalion" a couple nights ago with my boys. Talk wandered, we got on the subject of desertion, I explained about Eddie, and the fact that the Army doesn't shoot people for desertion any more. I just couldn't remember his name.
Lost Battalion ranks high in my list of movies, for realism, accuracy, and honesty. That's not to say it's perfect, but it's high.
