while some scene of training be realistic and too many of them depict military instructor a ex nazi type . obviously and the people who write the screen play be either anti military type or write a film for that audience . i be a viet nam vet and and even during this period and military instructor who behave in the manner some of these do would probably still be serve time in military prison . and i really love the scene where the hero and his buddy ( both private ) be sit down in the captain office and smoking cigarette and talk and cuss with the captain a if he be their buddy . this sort of thing never happen in training or in a formal situation and a be the purpose for the scene . at the end i ask myself and what be this film about . a it seem to wander around all over the place with no focus except i hate all authority . thank god i get it from the library and do not pay to rent it .
