Talk:Camp Currahee

This name could possibly be a nod or a homage to Starship Troopers By Robert Heinlein, one of the training camps for the characters is 'Camp Curry'
 * That's possible, but not likely. There are a lot of homages that could have been paid in the book. -ED 02:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

i think it's a homage to Band Of Brothers, because that was where the 101st Airborne Battalion trained during World War II. pretty cool.

I'd suggest the nod to starship troopers is far more likely, given it's been added to the suggested reading list of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, and is the only sci-fi book on the required reading list of the service academies (West Point, Annapolis, etc). Band of brothers is good I do not argue that for a moment, but we can't know if its comparable until 2052 or so.
