I'm sorry but "He means well" as Speirs' senior superlative sent me looking for his high school yearbook.
HE MEANS WELL?
And 18 year old Sparky, first row fourth man from left.

I love episode 8 because Speirs is always around Winters and Nixon and for some reason that makes him look kinda small and it's so funny

Ronald Speirs was born in 1920, which means he was only 24 in 1944.
Also look at his little baby face! No wonder everyone thought he was a crazy badass motherfucker. Imagine this 24 year old baby faced lieutenant suddenly comes in and takes over for useless Foxhole Norman and the proceeds to, BY HIMSELF, run through all MG fire to hook up with the other company and then RUN BACK TOO. Yeah I'd also go starry eyed after that. I'd follow that man over a cliff.
