Who is Glen Hogan from Johnny Got His Gun and what is their importance?

Glen Hogan is Joe Bonham's childhood acquaintance in Shale City, Colorado. Hogan is the rich kid in the group, giving Joe for his birthday a pair of handsome brown silk socks that show he is grown up. Later, Hogan is the first to have hunting knives, silk shirts, and a car. As a result, Hogan gets all the girls. Joe Bonham fights with his best friend, Bill Harper, when Harper reports Hogan has been seeing Bonham's girlfriend, Diane. Only later does Bonham find Harper kissing Diane, but he is pleased Hogan at least has not won.
