Continuity mistake: Winters is helping the men to their feet to board the plane. The first person he helps up is shown from the back, so we can't see who it is. The next shot shows that person boarding the plane as Winters helps others to their feet. The person in this shot is Joe Toye. Then the scene switches back to Winters helping up the rest of the men one by one, so we can see their faces. The third person we see in this progression is Joe Toye again. (01:04:23)

Answer: To mess with him. A lot of the "regular" soldiers didn't respect or even like Webster early on because he was a college boy. That dislike and lack of respect was deepened when Webster took what they perceived to be an extended stay in hospital after being wounded when many of their other comrades - Popeye for example - left hospital early to get back with their friends to fight.
He couldn't leave hospital early because he was in England. The wound in Band of Brothers was perceived a lot less serious than it was, and a lot of easy men were happy to have him back, especially Luz.
If you read the literature around Band of Brothers, you'll find that Kenyon Webster was perceived as a slacker in the sense that, while not precisely a coward, would never volunteer to put himself in harm's way. He only did as told and nothing more. So, regardless of the reasons why he really couldn't go back to Easy, his friends were predisposed to feel he was slacking off at the hospital while they were risking their lives.
