* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: He tricks Peck into trading his brand new poncho for his ratty old one by "warning" Peck of the chemicals in the newer ponchos (even though those chemicals were to make them more ''water-resistant.'') Peck later swaps Snafu's old poncho for the fresh one covering their ammunition crates, which causes the ammo to become wet and unusable, necessitating a dangerous ammo run that gets another marine, Dice, shot and killed.]]



** [[spoiler: During a torrential downpour on Okinawa, he switches his old, hole-filled poncho with the fresh one covering the ammo crates. The ammunition gets wet and the mortar rounds become duds, necessitating a group to perform a dangerous ammo run, resulting in Dice being shot in the head and killed.]]
