| Henry Dobbins | A kind and gentle man, but not very bright. He is superstitious, wearing his girlfriend's pantyhose around his neck, believing they will protect him.

| Dave Jensen | A young, naïve and paranoid soldier. He desperately tries to keep clean in the field, even stealing soap from hotel rooms when he gets vacation time.
