Heavy Artillery

basilone was doing up a gifset of Joe's assist when Tab gets stabbed in "Carentan," and it reminded me of how Joe would have been a stone cold bad ass of a medic.

( Long and discusses injuries )

Which is all to say that I'd love to see an AU where Joe's a medic, especially if the rest of his feral "fuck as punctuation" and "trolling Web about comics" stuff is kept in play. Though he'd probably be immensely annoyed at not getting to shoot things.

It's very much Winters and Nixon-focused, but would probably be of use to the fandom generally for the war stuff.

Sources: This is based on a combination of newspaper reports, obituaries, Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters by Dick Winters and Cole C. Kingseed, Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters, the Man Who Led the Band of Brothers by Larry Alexander, "Operations of the 101st Airborne Division in the Invasion of France" found on Archive.org, and Wikipedia. Where conflicting information has been found, we've tried to indicate it. I'm shitty at sourcing individual items, but if you want to know about any of them, please ask.

All corrections and additions welcome. Thank you to kunstarschloch (especially for Nixon family history) and scandalinbohemia for your contributions!
