There, he comes face-to-face with the kooky drill sergeant by the name of Merwin J. Toomey (Christopher Walken), and tries to get along with other soldiers in his platoon.

Informed Attribute: For all his supposed intelligence, Epstein intentionally mouths off to Sgt. Toomey when they first meet, for no reason other than pure rebelliousness. He continues to not really grasp his situation and fights battles with his superiors he can't possibly win.

From a Certain Point of View: Hennessey tells Wykowski he's part black to expose Wykowski's bigotry. He later clarifies he meant he's Black Irish.
