Most of the guys had glocks, so the thinking was, if they had to, just pull your side arm. Hey, every army needs a desk jockey....you should watch "blackhawk down". That guys saves the day....coffee...its all in the grind.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

Too bad the actual guy that the character is based on turned out to be such a shitbag. |

Quoted:

Because desk jockeys take Basic Training and are required to qualify with a rifle just like everybody else, and his basic MOS is that of Rifleman regardless of what his regular job is. Remember when Capt. Miller asked Upham if he'd fired a rifle in Basic? That was to remind him that he's a Soldier above all else. In theory anyway. |

Unless, and thats a big unless, he felt their faces 1st. But who, in their right mind, would let Hitler feel their faces without showering 1st? |

I can't think of anyone specific off the top of my head, but I would have preferred a less well known actor for that role in the film. I'm really not a TH fan to begin with, and my personal feelings are that Hanks just was not a good fit for that role. It doesn't help that whenever I think of that guy all I can think of is "Joe vs the Volcano". |

Fair enough.
I thought he did a pretty good job with it. Only gripe is I think he was too old. IIRC, he turned 40 during production. |

- A friend's mom made us watch that when she realized we were playing D&D. We got a laugh out of it. Keymaster/gatekeeper is a very different movie... Mazes & Monsters was Tom Hanks wanting to jump off the World Trade Center. Apparently it was easy to get on the roof back in the early 80s. Skip to 1:31 or so and you'll see it's really easy to get past security back in those days. And that Tom Hanks can fly because he has spells. ETA: 1:07 is the cop talking about how Mazes & Monsters makes people kill. "Mazes and Monsters is a far out game. Swords, poison, spells, battles, maiming, killing."
