Ben is a freaking spaz.
He and Will were both so stupid and unlikeable. Good thing they found each other, or the other one wouldn't have any friends at all.
shareI think Will is the most laid back and easy to like guy in the movie. Ben is hyper and might tend to grow on the nerves of some people, but he's alright. That jackass that had ROTC (at the high school level, I expect) was a jackass. I think he would earn a blanket party pretty quick.
The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank.
