Was Captain Stillman a villain?


I've thought he became a very unlikable character as the movie progressed.

He's just your typical incompetent Commanding Officer that probably half-assed his way through college, collects a hefty paycheck, and enjoys wars but couldn't lead anybody into battle. He's also a pervert to boot.

Probably why they shipped him to the Arctic, lol.

I was glad they deleted the scene where Stillman gets pissed off at Winger for telling Stillman differently about what happened to Sgt. Hulka, plus him smiling when he claims Hulka's men aren't gonna make it through graduation shows what a true jerk he is.
