I'm not sure that John Wayne shows contempt at the end of the film. I think he expresses respect for Thursday's bravery and perhaps his discipline in the regiment. At the end we see Wayne wearing the French Foreign Legion like keppe that Thursday favored as headgear. I think his contempt is more for the reporters.

The portrayal of Thursday is not altogether unsympathetic. When Mrs. O"Rourke has Philadelphia over for dinner, Thursday barges in to bring her out. SGM O'Rourke risea and with great dignity points out that the colonel's presence in his house, uninvited, is a violation of Army regulations. Thursday immediatly tips his hat to Mrs. O'Rourke and leaves.

One of my favorite scense is where they find that boxes marked as bilble contain whiskey and he asks the sergeants to pour him a few verses.
