Fallen Angels

Lieutenant Carroll is the commander of Perry's platoon. He is 23 years old and has a pregnant wife back home in Kansas. Carroll is well liked among the soldiers and cares about their well being. After Jenkins's death, Carroll describes the young deceased soldier as a "fallen angel warrior" because he was an innocent boy fighting a grown man's battle. Perry becomes especially close to Carroll and describes his demeanor as "gentle." After Carroll dies in combat, Perry and the other members of his platoon are completely devastated.
