1 - "Remember everything from your training, protect the men around you and they will do the same to you."
2 - I dont think that the American soldiers should have stopped the residents of Eindhoven. Although stopping them might have been the right thing to do, it wasnt there job to do it. They didnt need to get involved in the punishments that the citizens did. What they were doing wasnt right, it was crule, but it was no place for an American soldier. I also think that if they did get involved it wouldnt do much, it might stop the head shaving and executions at the time but not in the long run.
3 - Tragity

1-"Don't fight for yourself, but fight for your family, your company, and your country!"
2-I believe the American soldiers should have prevented or stopped the residents of Eindhoven from getting back at the men and women who collaborated with the Nazis. They should have stopped the head shaving and the executions because those who collaborated were just trying to save their own behinds like what everyone would do. They only helped the Germans to keep their families and themselves out of harms way and chose the only option that was available to them. Also, the residents should realize that revenge is an ugly thing and you should allow the perpetrators to apologize and you should be able to forgive and forget because they know they would have done the exact same thing if it were them in their shoes. War brings out the worst in people and people must understand certain things that are done for survival in wartime conditions.

1- "Stay focused on the goal at hand, don't stop, and don't forget that not only your life dependant on you, but the lives of others as well.
2- I think that the soldiers should have stopped the residents because the collaboraters might not of had a choice. They could have easily been forced to do what they did, and they went along so they didn't get punished. The collaboraters did what they did to appease the German soldiers and didn't want to. The area where they're at is at war, and during war people do weird things and shouldn't be blamed.
3- Courage

1."Just keep on shootin,after the first shot the rest are easy,a bullet in our enemy is better than one in us".
2.I beleive that Easy Company should have stopped those citizens.I beleive this because those people were just people trying to get by,if those people who collaborated with the nazis didnt do what they were told then they could have lost their lives also.Easy Company had the power and control to do this because the people of Eindhoven were so in love with the Americans helping them they probably wouldn't have fought.So I beleive they should have stopped it was cruel and not humain.

1. It may be hell out their, but together we'll destroy it.
2. No because that town had their own justice system and the American soldiers need to respect that although it may seem injustice.
3. Strength, because it show how long Bull could last by himself when he was left behind.

1. Fight hard because your life and your loved ones lives depend on it.
2. Morally yes, the American soldiers should have stopped the shaving of the heads. However in light of the war, why would American soldiers want to stop people from fraternizing with the Germans? I believe everything morally correct and incorrect change in the state of war. War altogether is unmoral, yet we do it anyways. From the Dutch point of view, these people were creating treason. They were doing what they thought was right and in that case it was.

1. Remember your training, trust the boys next to you, and know that your country is proud of you.
2. I do not believe the United States soldiers should have stopped the residents from punishing those who collaborated with the Nazis. Although I would not endorse what they were doing, I also believe it is not the United States soldier's fight. I believe that although the United States stands for justice, it would not have been appropriate for the soldiers to mettle in the affairs of the citizens. The residents were treating the traitors the way they appropriately saw fit in their community.
3.Unfortunate

1) Death is a part of life, make sure you die for a cause.
2) As a viewer, I think thaht they should have gotten back at them, but if I was an American soldier, and saw my friends die next to me from Nazi soldiers, then I would probably have not gotten back at them. Again, if I was a soldier, and saw them shaving their heads, I wouldn't have gotten back at them, but as a viewers stand point, I would have.
3) Companionship

1. The fate of the United States is in your hands.
2. I don't think the US soldiers should have stopped the villagers from doing what they were doing. Even though i dont condone what they were doing as a payback for being friendly with the nazis, they are seen as traitors because it is a time of war. I don't understand why they would want to be niceto the Nazis after what the nazis did to their country. Because of that i believe they need some sort of punishment, but not to the point of death. It was not the United States' business to stop anything.

1) Don't be a coward, it is either us or them and they won't hesitate.
2) No I don't think they should have stopped it, as sad as they may seem. The citizens of Eindhoven wanted what they thought was justice. If the American soldiers had stopped 'justice' from being achieved, they would have been unjust. Also, as sad as this may also seem, saving the collaboraters wasn't their job. If they had stopped these actions they would have taken valuable time from their mission just by stopping the executions and humiliations. Also the citizens of Eindhoven might have reacted adversely to their stopping of those actions, and calming the unrest that would arise in such a large group of people would take even more time away from their mission. In war there are objectives that must be achieved to accomplish a nations goals, if by sacrificing a few can allow the achievement of these goals then that is acceptable; at least that is what is in the minds of officers and the rationalization that can be used to fight against the morality typically instilled in us by our parents.
3) irretrievable

1. Work together and do your duty soldier, we will have the power to cover on anothers back if we work together.
2. No I dont think the u.s should have stopped them. There was nothing the u.s. could have done. The people of eindhover would have found it offensive and would have been mad at them. I think it would have sarted a huge riot in the town and when the soldiers would have left they would keep doing it anyways.

1.) All soldiers are fearful of combat, but one cannot hesitate, fight with all you've got and let the enemy know you cannot be defeated.
2.) Morally the soldiers should have tried to interfere, but if we acted morally all the time, a lot wouldn't get accomplished. It was wrong what was being done, but what good would have been had out of the soldiers causing a scene in Eindhoven. This would have greatly angered the citizens, and changed the public opinion of Americans. The soldiers most likely also disliked those people, for collaborating with the Nazis. I believe the soldiers made the best decision possible, avoiding any extra conflict that wasn't really any of their business anyway.
3.) Experience

1) "Remeber your training and trust the men on either side of you, because they're all you've got on the battlefield."
2) I don't think the Americans should have done anything to stop what was going on in Eindhoven. The soldiers were there for a specific reason. They had an important objective to accomplish and any delays could have been costly. Stirring up trouble in Eindhoven would only have caused unnecessary trouble for the American soldiers. Even though the events in Eindhoven were unfortunate and wrong, it was not the soldiers' place to step in and stop it.
3) Survival

1. Don't die for your country, make "him" die for his.
2. I don't think we should have stopped anything, what they were doing was more of an issue that they needed to resolve, if they thought thats what they needed to do then so be it. We aren't the world police, if we tried to stop things such as this, we would loose focus on the task at hand, putting a stop to Hitler's evil doings.
3. War

1) "The man you are fighting does not agree with freedom for all and take no shame when you make him fall." (This is assuming you are fighting Nazis)
2) Yes, they should preach forgiveness and tell the residents to jail them. Have a fair trial and decide on appropriate measures. It's possible some of those people were forced against their will to aid the Germans. Either way they should not be publically humiliated.
3) Hide.
