** Inverted when Lt. Jones tries to convince Winters and Speirs to put him on the patrol. He points out that he's spoken to Malarkey, who would be happy for Lt. Jones to take his place. Winters rather sarcastically points out that this is very nice of Malarkey, but Speirs notes that both Jones and Malarkey have a point; Malarkey is clearly exhausted and needs a breather.

* CharacterDevelopment: In "Currahee", Winters was willing to face court-martial in order to prove that he wouldn't knowingly disobey the orders of a senior officer. In this episode, he knowingly disobeys the orders of a senior officer by telling the men not to go on the ordered second patrol and giving them a false report to lodge. In his defence, it is suggested that the second patrol was reckless, would only needlessly endanger the lives of his men, and was only really being done out of ego.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: There are generally some conflicting viewpoints about Webster -- he's treated in the episode and the book which inspired it as a kind of WarriorPoet, but judging from the recollections of other soldiers he appears to have been generally unpopular with his fellow soldiers, who considered him standoffish, workshy and fond of flaunting his superior education (though, somewhat ironically, by Webster's own recollection they actually ''didn't'' ostracise him as much on his return as the episode depicts). Probably the biggest example is that in the episode he is depicted as volunteering to go on the "Last Patrol" when in actuality he stayed behind.
