*FatherToHisMen: Lieutenant Curtis Collins, who was (fatally) wounded taking out an enemy bunker to save his men.
--->'''Hawkeye''': "Curt was in a lot of pain, but the only thing that concerned him was his men. They thought he was pretty special too."
*OutlivingOnesOffspring: General Collins is devastated that his only son Curtis has died.
*TheChainsofCommanding: Discussed by General Collins who is painfully aware that every soldier who dies under his command is someone else's loved one.
--->'''General Collins''': "In this room they're pins. When they die out there... you can't feel the pain in here. When enough of them die... you just remove a pin. So many wars, campaigns, battles. Not enough time to give names to the dead. They just die by the numbers. I always knew that somewhere for every number... there was somebody to cry. But I never heard the crying in this room. They were always other men's sons."
*WellDoneSonGuy: General Collins believes this what got his son killed.
--->'''General Collins''': "You may find this hard to believe, Pierce, but I never pushed Curt to make a career of the army. It's a tough, tough life. But he wanted to be like his old man. And I guess, when a boy sees the uniform with all its brass and ribbons, he... he doesn't see the dirt and blood that line it. And I'm sure he felt the way to make me proud was to do as I did, only better. And that's what got him killed."

* BackInTheSaddle: Subverted. Woody Cooke likes to think he's StillGotIt, but his attempt at getting back into combat gets people hurt when it could have been avoided.
* CassandraTruth: Hawkeye goes to Potter with what he heard about Woody, but Potter refuses to hear a word against his friend. He comes around when he talks to the sergeant of the unit that was hurt.
* GeneralFailure: Woody overstepped his bounds and ordered a unit of soldiers to defend a ridge they were ordered to stay clear of. As stated before, this ended badly.
* KickedUpstairs: Woody has been assigned to I-Corps, and Potter mentions that he was chafing under it the last time he heard from him.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Sergeant Zurelli decides there's no point in reporting Woody when he sees that he's good friends with Potter, assuming his mistakes would be covered up.
