Private Higgins
Higgins was a private in the National Guard under Colonel Kent Fletcher's command. Unlike most of his comrades, Higgins was hesitant to use such extreme force on the Resistance and didn't think Fletcher's coup was a good idea. Nevertheless, he followed his orders as any other loyal soldier would, but the coup failed and Higgins was taken into custody by the Military Police.

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or higgins:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”

“Politics is a choice of enemas. You’re gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.”
—George V. Higgins (b. 1939)
