The kid who outlasted his luck · Easy Company — Enlisted
Don Malarkey (The kid who outlasted his luck) is a character in Band of Brothers, part of Easy Company — Enlisted. Don Malarkey is an Oregon kid with an easy grin who runs into German fire on D-Day to check a dead soldier's name — and spends the rest of the war accumulating losses with a survivor's terrible arithmetic.
