Oh yeah, I remember that scene now.
The Big Red One really makes you care about the characters. Moreso than a lot of, or most, war movies. Full Metal Jacket and Combat! the TV series are about the only war dramas I can think of that also have such marvelous characterization. Saving Private Ryan and HBO's Band of Brothers were okay.
Apocalypse Now and Platoon had some sketches of characterization that are masterful, but both of those are more like allegories or morality plays really.
