106 | |
107 | * CoolShades: Wears one when he becomes a colonel. |
108 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Well, duh. He naturally appears as the player's instructor in the tutorial mode. He returns in the campaign as a colonel. Complete with a [[Film/ApocalypseNow Colonel Kilgore]] attire. |

110 | %%* NoIndoorVoice |

146 | * PopCulturedBadass: If the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' references are any indication. |
147 | %%* SirSwearsALot |
148 | * SociopathicHero: Downplayed. He's friendly to his fellow US[=/=]ARVN soldiers, but when it goes to the NVA[=/VCs=], he's pretty much PayingEvilUntoEvil. [[spoiler:Best exemplified in the VC campaign's ending, where he orders Minh and all the dead VC soldiers to be buried along with their victims]]. |

166 | |
167 | %%* CommunicationsOfficer |
168 | * TagalongKid: He's not a member of Boone's team, and merely acting as a liaison between them and the MACV high command. There's a reason why Boone calls him "boy scout". |
169 | * TooDumbToLive: Tries to attack a fleeing VC squad and charges into an open field '''with absolutely no cover, completely exposing him to sniper fire.''' If it wasn't for Cobber, he would've bled to death. |

187 | * TheNeidermeyer: He's in charge of a failed mission (depicted in the intro) near the DMZ which ends with his marines either getting shot by the [=VCs=] or blown up by minefields and [=RPGs=]. Boone, who participated (and gets wounded) in said mission, hates him so bad that he filed a complaint and he almost got court-martialed. Cobber seems to hate him as well. |

189 | %%* SirSwearsALot |

191 | |
192 | !!Mai Van Minh |

196 | -->'''Boone''': No-- [[spoiler:''*Minh pulls the trigger*'']] |
197 | %%* ChekhovsGunman |
198 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: First the [[FrenchJerk French killed his people]], then the Americans and the CIDG slaughtered his family. |
199 | %%* DemolitionsExpert |
200 | * KnightTemplar: Gets dangerously close to this trope as the VC campaign progresses. |

241 | * PropagandaMachine: He tries to convince the civilians in Hue to rise up against the Americans using the town hall's radio. |
242 | * TooDumbToLive: Too oblivious to hear gunfire in and around the town hall, not even hearing ''Boone entering his room and sneaking up to him''. |
243 | |
244 | !!NVA Officer |
245 | |
246 | %%* MyCountryRightOrWrong |
247 | %%zce* OnlyKnownByHisNickname |
248 | * PoliticalOfficer: A commissar, no less. |
249 | |
250 | !!NVA Hero |
251 | |
252 | * AllThereInTheManual: Game files, not to mention his class's description in the multiplayer mode identified him as a "hero of the revolution". |
253 | * BigBad: The closest the US campaign gets to one, being one of the remaining officers who were (probably) in charge of the NVA and VC forces in Hue. |
254 | %%* BossInMookClothing |
255 | * FinalBoss: Bonus points for being the very last enemy fought in the US campaign. |
256 | * MoreDakka: Equipped with an RPD. |
