He introduces himself as Lance Corporal James Speck. And then Dodge introduces himself as Lieutenant Colonel Dodge Petersen... ?
There was no other mention that he was former military even when he talks to his Father.
I wonder what else was left on the cutting room floor along with that backstory?
I think that Dodge was just being a smart-ass.
Are you doing something desperate? Something we can't clean up this time?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa? This guy is a dick.
shareCalling black people "gorillas" is incredibly racist and inflammatory. I don't think his race was relevant at all. That role could have been played by any actor. I do think that the military title and the apparent closeness between Speck and Penny was intimidating, but I don't think his race was part of it at all.
shareI think he was being a smart as, too! Nothing about him was military, so he was just having some fun. Why not pretend? Nothing to lose and this point!
shareHe was joking.
