Question of Authority

Seeing as this site's user controls will not let me do a large poll with several options, for some reason, I am going to do the following poll this way; all you have to do is pick the top Easy Company Officer that you think was the best. The list goes like this.

Winters, Speirs, Nixon, Lipton, Compton, Heyliger, Meehan, Foley, Peacock, Sobel, Hester, Welsh, Dike, Shames, Brewer, Gates, Pisancin, Horner, Rousch, Mathews, Lavenson, or Jones?

Answer this question by commenting on this post. Please type in the name of the officer you think is best, followed by the reason you think he was the best.

Major Winters; because he was a kind man. Strict. Fair. Caring of his men, and a great leader, and combat leader. His men liked and respected him immensely.

it's difficult to say really. I would say Dick Winters as he was a great leader which all men respected.
But I would also say Speirs and Shames, after I heard a discussion between Suerth, McClung and Rogers in Eindhoven. They were two "sons of bitches" that were respected by their men. Speirs in Easy Co. in a whole and Shames in his 3th Platoon.
