Fair use rationale for Image:Sgtrock04.jpg
Image:Sgtrock04.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Sure Shot
Didn't Sure Shot believe his feathers bring him luck? If so, I think it should be noted. Lots42 (talk) 08:58, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Ice Cream Soldier
This is a minor point, but I was a fan of the series in the 1960s, and as I recall, Ice Cream Soldier didn't get his nickname because he was cool in combat or effective in cold weather. He got it because, when he first joined Easy Company, it was summer, and he complained a bit too much about the difficulty of soldiering in the heat. This led to Sgt. Rock poking fun at him, calling him "Ice Cream Soldier" because he melted easily. The soldier, of course, took this as an insult, and proved his toughness later in battle. But the nickname stuck, as nicknames tend to do.

=== This happened in Our Army at War #85, Ice Cream Soldier. Only it wasn't Rock that came up with the name. It was "Easy" that did. In the panel where the name is bestowed, Rock is comforting Phil Mason as four other members of the squad call him Ice Cream Soldier because "He's so afraid he'll melt."

When did an African-American soldier join Easy Company?
When did an African-American soldier join Easy Company? I was a faithful reader of "Our Army At War" in the early 1960s -- probably 1961 through early 1964 -- and don't recall ever seeing a character that was identified as being African-American. Can someone with the necessary research skills provide the date/issue number when the African-American soldier first appeared in "Our Army At War?"

From a historical standpoint the only races/ethnicities that could not have served in a historically accurate Easy Company would be African-Americans (aka "Negroes") and Japanese-Americans. Men of other races and ethnicities -- including native-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Mexican-Americans, native-Hawaiians, Korean-Americans, and light-skinned Puerto Ricans -- served alongside white personnel. 18:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC) 2603:800C:3A40:6400:5021:82D0:9D75:8261 (talk) 18:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
