Character Role Analysis

Captain Miller, Major Sessions

As part of the few higher-ranking women in the unit, Miller and Sessions are both against each other and behave as opposites. Sessions sends soldiers on missions without getting her own hands dirty, and spends most of her time behind a desk. Miller goes on missions with the unit, and tries not to take credit for anything, even when pushed in front of the press. (Sessions, on the other hand, calls the press in.)

It could be said that Sessions is only doing her job. She outranks Miller, after all, and might simply have more of a desk job. But when she travels with Birdy's squad to a morgue to search for a boy, she shows how much she can't handle the real stuff. She's the only one who throws up from the smell.
