Keeping track of the characters in this movie was a real challenge. There were many instances that I never was able to figure-out, so I finally had to give up.
One such case was the Commander's Meeting at 11:39 in this Episode.
The meeting only lasted 53 seconds, but the camera was zoomed-in, and panning the enire time.
When the meeting began (at 11:39), it looked like there were 5 commanders in attendance. But suddenly (at 12:21), Jack Foley appeared at Dike's immediate right.
The confusion was enhanced by putting the men's faces in soft-focus, and having them play musical chairs each time they were out-of the camera's view.
At the end of the meeting, we see Carwood Lipton looking stunned and frustrated ... and the viewer finds himself feeling exactly the same way.
As Lt. Dike yawns and makes his exit, we are left to pick our jaws up off of the floor, as the soldiers try to recover from their daily dose of Dike's double-talk.
I suspect that the over-all effect was intentional (on the part of the Director), but I have to admit that I am not 100% sure that my Sub-Titles for that meeting are correct.
To change the subject, there is a note at the end of Episode 3 that says that Albert Blithe died in 1948.
The show's producers found-out later ( from Albert's family ) that, in fact, Albert served in the Korean War, and died in 1967 while stationed in Germany.
Most people will agree that Albert Blithe was not painted in a very flattering light in this movie.
But the internet is full of various people who have tried to salvage what is left of Albert's reputation by describing the rest of his highly-decorated career in the Army.
If Albert Blithe did, in fact, change from what we saw on the screen in Episode 3 ... it would have been a remarkable transformation.

Notice Speirs' helmet.
The fact that he wears it down ( over his eyes ) makes him look more intimidating ... threatening.
