* ValuesDissonance: Pulver's attempt to get the "dumb little blonde" head nurse drunk so that she'll sleep with him was viewed as innocent male hijinks back when the story was written. Nowadays, the scenes are saved mainly by the fact that the head nurse knows ''exactly'' what he's after and thwarts him effortlessly.

Not heinous enough


* CompleteMonster: Morton figures out that Roberts would do anything for the men on the Reluctant. So when they get into port where liberty (shore leave) was expected, Morton cancels liberty and then uses it to force a deal from Roberts: No more letters asking for transfers, no more talking back to the Captain in front of the crew, and Roberts tells no one about the deal. Morton knows Roberts can't refuse, and [[IGaveMyWord that Roberts won't go back on his word]].
** And afterward, Morton uses Roberts' agreed-upon silence to trick the crew into thinking Roberts is angling for a promotion instead of sticking with them. The bastard.
