* EnsembleDarkhorse: Rhidges isn't nearly as prominent as many of his platoon mates but is pretty popular for his OddFriendship with Goldstein and relative lack of {{Jerkass}} moments. It helps that he's more introspective than the average [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]] SouthernFriedPrivate.

* CompleteMonster: Staff Sergeant [[SociopathicSoldier Sam Croft]] is the Commander of a Recon Platoon, which he rules with an iron fist, during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Croft comes across as a simple martinet jerk before the audience is first introduced to his [[KickTheDog sadistic side]]. In one scene, [[spoiler: he gives a Japanese prisoner some cigarettes and chocolate and thus the illusion of being spared. Right after he kills the guy despite having just learnt the soldier has a wife and kid back home]]. From there on it's made increasingly clear that Croft is a cold-blooded killing machine with [[InHarmsWay love of combat and]] [[BloodKnight killing.]] His first kill was not even in the war, but when he was serving in the Texas National Guard, during which he killed a man in a riot just to see what it was like. When newly ensigned Lt. Hearn is assigned to the platoon, Croft resents being placed at second-in-command. [[spoiler: Later, after he crushes an injured bird to death to spite a soldier, Hearn forces him to apologize. Croft experiences this as humiliating. He [[DisproportionateRetribution retaliates]] by misleading Hearn into thinking the path ahead is clear, thus getting Hearn killed by a machine gun. Later, Croft quells a mutiny in his usual manner by threatening to shoot those responsible.]]
