Yeah that was Chuckler, that's the guy I was asking about on here last week, trying to find out what happened to him. I couldn't remember him getting injured.
Just watched it last night, great episode, and as mentioned above, very powerful. I can't even imagine the pain and stress you'd go through, taking on an enemy on a remote island who'd rather die than be captured. It's not surprising a lot of guys cracked. I think the episodes have really stepped it up the past 3 weeks or so, and at least for me anyways, I attribute a lot of that to the main character being switched from Leckey to Sledgehammer.
Leckey started growing on me near the end, but over-all I had a tough time relating to him, and I didn't find him overly likeable. I just prefer the Sledgehammer character much more, he doesn't have that "Hollywood"ish thing going on like I find most of these characters do. He reminds me more of a BoB character, I find him easier to put yourself in his shoes. He's just a normal, young, intelligent kid who's been completely overwhelmed by what he's seen. I also like how they've shown his gradual metamorphosis from green kid to efficient soldier. He's losing the light in his eyes, and seems to be becoming more hollow inside, just as his dad worried about. I think it really helps demonstrate how war not only affects you physically, but psychologically. Can't wait for the final 3 weeks, man this series is just flying by.
