About 'Junior'

One thing I'll give Wolfe credit for, he was a Westpoint graduate and reasonably intelligent. He belonged in the rear and NOT out in the bush as a Platoon Commander! A logistics or supply officer would have been good for him with a Senior NCO or more seasoned officer mentoring him!

fair point, texas. a misplaced officer in a beep situation with an insane staff sergeant. wolfe also pisses me off because he was siding with barnes after elias informed the captain of barnes's violent beep either way, i'm not fan of wolfe (although mark moses is great in the role). i also wonder why barnes was adamant to warren about needing junior for the ambush when tex is wounded and gardner is killed. was barnes quietly hoping junior would be KIA sooner rather than later? and i love the stare barnes gives junior, knowing damn well he fell asleep on watch. not taylor.

I'm a year late, but there is no evidence that Wolfe was a graduate of the USMA at West Point. In point of fact, he wears a college sweatshirt at one point in the film. I don't recall right now what it was (Ohio State, perhaps) but it wasn't West Point.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
