Timothy E Upham from Saving Private Ryan

First one I thought of. Him doing nothing while the big German went up and killed Mellish is inexcusable. He has a loaded rifle. The German is concentrating on Mellish. All Upham had to do was shoot him, or at least knock him in the head with the butt of his rifle. Even him distracting the guy could give Mellish an opportunity to end the knife fight.

I see articles about the movie saying Upham redeems himself by executing the German he talked the Captain into letting go in an earlier scene. Screw that. I'm not sure he's not a villain. He's a sh*tbag for sure.
