* NerdHoard: Colonel Winter keeps a collection of military artifacts that he's quite proud of. Recently imprisoned Lt. General Irwin derides it as something no military man who'd seen combat would take pride in, leading to escalating friction between the two soldiers.

** {{Averted}} at the end when upon seeing that a mortally-wounded Irwin has raised the U.S. flag right-side up, Yates and the prisoners snapped a proper salute to their nation's flag which they had once sworn as soldiers to defend and in honor of their fallen General.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Winter tries to justify his actions and methods to the General by mentioning that under the former warden in his last two years that there was 12 attacks on officers and NCO’s with one being killed and that there was seven escape attempts and since he took over none of the two has happened and that he has to be firm due to the fact that the prisoners vastly outnumber the Colonel and his men but the General sees through it. By the end it's shown that Winter is full of crap and just trying to rule the prison with any justification possible.

* AFatherToHisMen: Irwin very QUICKLY becomes this to all the men (although he was already revered by most of them anyway). He was this to his men while they were all POW’s in Hanoi although he tells Yates who’s father served under the General and who greatly revered him until his death that he didn’t do anything motivating as he mentions he was the one who actually broke first during torture and prayed for death every night but the only thing that kept him going was the men and their will and determination to stay alive.
