Heartwarming / Punisher: The Platoon

• The ending sees Molland leaving for home on a helicopter. As he waves goodbye at Frank Castle, Molland says he knows Frank won't wave back at him... Except Frank does wave goodbye to him after he's out of sight.
• The relationship between North Vietnamese Colonel Le Trong Giap and his protege, the orphan Ly Quang, with the veteran officer clearly trying to help his protege live and survive the war. Likewise, Giap's aide, who got the job due to nepotism, is initially dismissive of Ly Quang. However, near the end of the arc, when Colonel Giap is away and he's in charge, he gets a questionable report from Ly Quang. After initially hesitating, he decides that she deserves the trust Giap has placed in her and sends the forces she asked for. Unfortunately, Ly Quang was lying to the aide at that moment, in an effort to get revenge on Frank and his men on account of Frank calling down the air strike that killed her old unit.
