This is probably the best war film for a few reasons. Firstly, it's not
just about boot camp, or completing some war-related goal. These
characters we know nothing about are just there, they get squeezed out
of training and are thrust into a situation they really know nothing
about. When there, they do what they know how to do - which is mostly
relax between brief, infrequent skirmishes.
War isn't glamorised. Training is not one mission to get it complete.
Finishing isn't a reward. It's a very complex film, but is presented so
laconically it could be taken as something simpler.
