The Captain is the character with the most depth I think. He seems irresponsible at first, like he doesn't care about his job, drunk like a sailor. Then you realize that alcohol is the only thing he has left to help him deal with the grief and the guilt of having to send his men out to die every day. By the time Blondie and Tuco blow the bridge up, he's fatally wounded, but he doesn't care that the objective is lost, or even that he's gonna die. All he cares about are the lives he has saved.

It's arguably the most anti-war scene ever, and, yes, it is like the movie suddenly drops acid. All praise to Sergio Leone for showing his heart.

The Captain’s comment about Tuco making Colonel at least: The Captain says about the bridge being so important to the planners and high ranking officers but he’d like to blow it up to save his men from a pointless death. The comment about the drink is that the more you drink the more oblivious out become, the more detached from reality you are. Therefore the higher rank you’ll become as with rank comes detachment. It’s such a subtle piece in a film full of excellent vignettes.

Aldo Giuffré ... Just to remember the great actor behind the captain Clint. Amazing acting, so real, so crude and the perfect transposition of the war and the impact on the soldiers. He died in 2010, now with Ennio Morricone death, the protagonists of this masterpiece (one of the most beautiful movie in the history) are slowly abbandoning us cause of the time, but the film will continue to grow emotions and feelings forever.

There is something rather "Heart of Darkness"-ish in this scene that I really like. It digresses from the main plot to deliver this depiction of war as futile, nonsensical and, particularly, tedious, repetitive and almost bureaucratic, signalling the consequences that a distant, impersonal bureaucracy, has of manslaughter and destruction of the captains self. There is no life for him after or before that bridge, as happens to some of Conrad's characters.

Many are commenting the irony of the captain claiming he has no guts while he is the only one not taking cover while bombing is happening. But this is the point. By having guts the captain does not mean being unafraid of being slaughtered. He is a nihilist alcoholic, but a very aware one, and he has just concluded a rant about how booze is used to send men to their death. He clearly despises the practice, among other things because alcohol merely creates the illusion of courage - courage is facing the danger despite being aware of its magnitude, not assuming substances which make you less aware. A bit of alcohol may be enough to charge to your own death, but doing something out of the box, defying authority to save lives? That takes something more.
