We want to wear the Silver Wing badge, Camp Tocoa

Company E was formed at Camp Tocoa, Georgia. The company's 140 soldiers and 7 officers, though from all over the world, have something in common: they were all born after World War I and were very young; the whole company was white because of the apartheid system imposed by the U.S. military during World War II; none but 3 were married; and most of them hunted and worked as athletes in middle school.

Their values are different. They all pay attention to healthy physique and strict obedience, and they all value their status as a member of the elite team. They are idealists, eager to be part of a collective that strives for a certain goal, to work hard, to treat each other sincerely, and to be like a family.

They said they volunteered to be paratroopers for the thrill of paratrooper life and the special allowance for paratroopers ($50 a month for soldiers and $100 a month for officers). But in fact, the reason why they voluntarily jumped off the plane is entirely for two reasons. One is — in the words of Robert Red — "want to be better than others." Each of them had the same experience as Richard Winters in his own way; not like some people, as they had seen at recruiting stations and training camps, often making excuses to hang out in the army, which was not interesting; but it was much better to do it with all their might. They want to live up to their days in the military and turn it into a process of learning, a process of maturation, a process of constantly challenging themselves.

Second, they know they are going to war, and they do not want to be in the company of conscripts who are neglectful of training, afraid of hardship, and lack of fighting spirit. They preferred to be paratroopers, commandos in attacks rather than ordinary infantry, because some of them could not even be trusted by those around them. When the war really starts, they hope that the comrades around them are all heroes and good men, not cowards.
