Hello Lauren and Harry 4F is a WWII era personnel designation referring to those deemed physically, mentally or morally unfit by the US government to serve in the armed forces. (Harry was right on the money) Sobel had skill as a trainer HOWEVER, he was lacking in skills as a leader. As the series goes on, the difference between good leadership by men like winters and bad leadership by men like sobel will become much more pronounced. quick breakdown of the ranks: Enlisted soldiers E1-E3: the basic grunts (private, private first class{PFC} and Specialist E-4 to E-6: junior NCOs (non commissioned officers) Junior non-coms run fireteams and squads, think of them as department leads in a company (Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant) E-7 to E-9: senior NCOs: these guys are NCO leaders at higher levels (Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeant/First Sergeant (First Sergeant is the the top enlisted guy in a company, the NCO counter part to a captain) Sergeant Major is the top guy in a battalion or larger size element) Officers Lieutenant (first is a butter bar/gold bar, second is silver bar) 0-1/0-2, is a platoon leader, in charge of between 30 and 40 men depending on the unit Captain 0-3is two silver bars, in charge of a company of 3 to 5 platoons Major 0-4, sometimes in charge of units but nowadays is typically a staff position for a large unit like a battalion or a brigade Lt Colonel 0-5, typically commands a battalion which is anywhere from 3 to 8 companies Colonel (full bird), Sometimes commands a brigade, sometimes on staff for an even larger unit like a Division When we meet Sobel, he's a first Lieutenant and winters and nixon are both second Lieutenants Lauren (and I suppose Harry as well), parachute infantry was new thing, and while they had gotten most of the kinks out of the physical exiting the aircraft and having the chute deploy, there were numerous trial by fire sorts of learning opportunities. Modern airborne static line operations are relatively safe these days. Military Free Fall wasn't a thing back then but even so, the US military has worked hard and long to make HALO/HAHO operations reasonably safe as well. Quakers were a conservative christian community started in the 17th century and one of their core tenents was pacifism. Guarnere wasn't really referencing a specific religious belief that he thought Winters had, just using the word to distinguish from catholicism or jewish. During the Luz pretends to be Major Horton scene, Sobel is said to be a full grid off. That means he is 1 Kilometer out from where he's supposed to be: Sobel? Land NAV FAIL!
