You may have been confused about Colonel Robert Strayer's military rank in Episode 2. Actually, it was the script-writers who were confused.
imdb.com reported the error in their 'Goofs' section.
In Episode 2, at 26:04, a runner calls Robert Strayer a Major. About a minute later, Dick Winters repeats the error at 27:05
Having read about the error, I identified him as Lt. Col. Robert Strayer at 26:46 ( in Episode 2 ).
According to imdb.com, Strayer had been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel about 16 months before the jump into Normandy.
In addition, you may have been confused about the disposition of the Sergeants who turned-in their stripes in Episode 1
The details of the incident were altered for the benefit of this movie.
According to Stephen Ambrose, the Sergeants never actually presented their resignations to Col. Sink. Dick Winters talked them out of it.
The near-mutiny is described in detail in Chapter 3 of Stephen Ambrose's book.
