Typically of any soldiers on movies or TV, such as Band of Brothers. But the thing I don't like is that Dietz add a bit of comedic relief into Hale. I preferred the near strong-silent type.

Basically I preferred books based on games focusing on new or secondary characters instead of the POV of the main important characters. It gives authors to breaking the original role of the main characters' personality.
