Alfie’s just one of those characters where, when they enter the room you don’t know if you’ll be leaving with a deal, a broken bone, both or neither, and it’s great. Truly an unpredictable madman.

What's interesting here is that they were already sus men before the war, but its almost like the war left a permanent imprint on them, so much as its like they can't even leave the mindset of being a soldier, and fighting battles against whomever the enemy is. Even after coming home they are still looking for a war to fight, and will continue to do so until the day they die.

[@Insanity_Wolf]

So, the touch of this is. More times than not in the military. When in formation/training/exercises/etc. You were not the one punished, although yes you'd get smoked. But, most times others would recieve the punishment while you stood there face to face with whomever you rubbed the wrong way. Mainly this was to show you worked as a unit and a f*ck up from one person will most likely hurt everyone, but also it was damn good for accountibilty. Much rather get smoked in front of everyone, than everyone else get smoked and you get balled up that night.

The contrast in tactics works superbly... for a while. Eventually, the "rabid" one either becomes traitorous or brings down way too much heat. However, when it's working, few can stand in the way of a calm, rational tactician and his bulldog. That's not to say Alfie isn't brilliant in his own way. He built something large. Buuuut he was going to lose the war without Shelby.
