~ Junior framing Taylor for falling asleep on shift. |
Junior is a supporting antagonist in Oliver Stone's 1986 Vietnam War film Platoon. Unlike Bunny and Sergeant Barnes, he is a genuine coward and a moron to the point where it even disgusts his comrades in-universe.
He was portrayed by Reggie Johnson.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He ignored his duty to stay on watch when Taylor asks him to take his place before falling asleep, thus allowing the NVA to ambush his team and kill Gardner. He showed no remorse for his negligence afterwards, instead shifting blame to Taylor in an attempt to save face.
- During the infamous village razing scene, Junior and Bunny lead a gangrape on two underage Vietnamese girls. This crime is so horrible that Taylor outright calls them animals for it in-universe.
- In the climax, he ran away and left alone Bunny in the foxhole by himself, showing him to be a coward who doesn't even care for the safety of his own best friend. His decision likewise causes the death of both of them as a result.
- He has no form of redeeming qualities whatsoever. Junior is a firm Hate Sink and a complete coward who'll do pretty much anything to save his own skin.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He's fails the Heinous Standards to Bob Barnes and Bunny, as both commit more murders as well as sharing one of his worst crimes with the latter.
