"We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing".
I was just watching the Battle of the Bulge in Band of Brothers, and on Christmas Eve, Luz says something funny when he shares out his Lucky Strike cigs: (something like) "Here's something from jolly old St. Luz". Just thought it deserved a place here...

Lucky's, Camels, Chesterfield,umm Old golds, good old Philip Morris, WINGS, some brit Craven A's, Players "Navy Cut", and then you have pipe and chewing tobacco also
You know, i have never seen a war Movie that had guys using spit tobbacco(considering i use Chew Tobbacco and Snuff<-Dip Tobacco for those who might not know) but yea the guys post above mine is right.
when was bia in the battle of the bulge? I played it on xbox, is it just on pc or something? O,wait. you talking about the series by tom hanks and stephen speilberg. i loved that series.
In SPR Horvath uses it. If you watch the beach scene, when they get to the first bunker, Horvath takes his out (hes using chew, not dip. I use both), opens his tobacco bag, and puts his last bit in.

Sgt. Kinney (James Whitmore) in "Battleground" also uses chew. Through a good part of the movie he's got a big wad of it in his mouth.
Here's a little trivia for you folks. There was a brand of cigarettes called "Wings" during the WWII era. With each pack came a small card displaying one model of an American aircraft, both civilian and military. Each card had a picture of the aircraft on the front and some of its specifications on the back. There were fifty cards in the series. I guess "Wings" was a favorite brand of my Grandfather as he had collected all fifty of them. He taped each card into a small pocket notebook. Lucky for me, he gave me the notebook when I was a young boy. BTW, I still have the notebook!
