Added DiffLines:
* TooDumbToLive: Prewitt. When you are AWOL and a murder you committed is currently being investigated, you don't just try to enter an American base with civilian clothes on, especially during an attack. Alma herself warns Prewitt it will be an idiotic decision. Warden also says that it was a stupid decision, but even then this is an understatement.

Added DiffLines:
* OffscreenVillainy: In the novel, Judson's systematic abuse of Maggio and other prisoners, including Prewitt himself at one point, is portrayed in detail. However, in the film, Maggio's abuse happens offscreen, and is told only verbally to Prewitt, who remains free. The Army required that the abuse of Maggio not be shown, and that Judson's behavior towards Maggio be portrayed as "a sadistic anomaly, and not as the result of Army policy, as depicted in the book". The filmmakers agreed, seeing these changes as improvements.
