I'm a retired Soldier and I guess I should feel more compassion for Monty Harris the main character in this episode. He was a nonenity at Whitman and then spent two years in the Marines serving in Vietnam and getting out with a medical discharge. Even though he is nineteen years old he comes back to Whitman instead of going to adult night courses to get his high school education finished. He is so outdated and doesn't know anybody. Life has moved on and he is pathetically stuck in the past. He even tries out for baseball hoping to become the jock star he never was until Pete tells him it is time to grow up and move on with his life leaving high school behind. Monty is a real jerk and you don't feel sorry for him at all. The "Alice Johnson comic relief" aspect of this episode involves her teaching a home economics class having them make bannana skin pie and revealing that she is a true baseball fan whose father still calls her "lefty"
