- Red on Aiello.

Aiello is competent, always having a pessimistic view on the group's situation, but is skilled soldier. He showed himself to often agree with Pierson's attitude, notably agreeing that saving the German civilians was pointless, this viewpoint changes after Turner's death. In addition, he showed himself to be racial, mocking Zussman's Jewish heritage after losing his Saint Michael necklace, and being surprised that the army let African-Americans fight. For the second however, he apologizes at the end of "The Rhine" once he sees Howard in action, and possibly does so to Zussman before he left for Queens.
