This film depicts the brutality and intensity of war in a seemingly realistic manner. The juxtaposition between bootcamp struggles vs real combat struggles offer an interesting perspective of what harsh truly is. I must also add the mind toying notion of violence inevitably being a factor in the pursuit of peace is a dominant proposition throughout the movie and results in a somewhat confused appreciation for war. Overall, very good and I highly recommend this film to anyone, especially war movie enthusiasts.
