Even though Steve Buscemi is a great actor and he does a great job in a small role here, his recognition is what takes away the power of the scene.

The individual scenes of notification were absolutely brilliant because they weren't just widows....each notification was a completely different story with different next of kin getting the notification and needless to say their reactions to the news were completely different as well.

Woody's reveal that he's never seen combat doesn't add anything to his character, Main Guy's reveal that he inadvertently killed a friendly doesn't add anything to his character, explaining how he almost killed himself doesn't add anything to his character.
