143. They really toned down that character for the series...

In the film (where the part was played by Robert Duvall), he was portrayed as a humorless religious fanatic who thought the military was doing "God's will" by killing as many evildewing Commies as possible -- the type of officer who would probably support a coup should any liberal get in office and threaten to derail his "holy war." The television series just made him an incompetent buffoon, instead of someone who'd welcome World War III as God's plan to bring about Armageddon and the Second Coming.
