In both, he gives his men a chance to quit before the decisive battles, where they are fired on by unseen regular soldiers and suffer the deaths of friends who've made their big speech or sentimental impression moments before. The film suggests that any war is hell - the same kind of hell - and that a war movie should be like a real tour of duty: uncomfortable, monotonous (except when interrupted...
