Rienne was an American paratrooper of the 101st Airborne, mentioned in the film Saving Private Ryan. He was killed in action in France, during World War Two, and his dogtag was mistaken by Private Daniel Jackson as "Ryan", but Private Stanley Mellish corrected him that it was a French name and was therefore spelled differently. This also indicates that Jackson couldn't really read as well as others and could indicate that he may have never been educated, coming from the country.
