If they challenged it, it would have made for a much more complex and no less powerful film.Y Kant Goran Ritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18587470.post-2964743228264321422007-12-19T05:17:00.000-08:002007-12-19T05:17:00.000-08:00For what it's worth, I thought the soldiers' behaviour was quite authentic, even if it was clunky. As for training, I don't think that detracts from the film or its message at all. Nothing, and I mean <I>nothing</I> justifies the behaviour depicted.Paul Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.com
