Typical war movie but this time the hero doesnt use a gun

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2019)

This movie was made by a lover of war movies and it really shows. It ticks all the boxes of a typical war movie loud and mean drill sergaent, guy getting bullied in barracks, the bully having a change of heart at the end, red head/blonde lover waiting back home, action set pieces ripped from private ryan you know the usual.
Its selling point was the guy didnt want to use a gun or kill and his superiors gave him hell for it. Looking back at it the superiors were really worried and trying to protect the guy even as far as trying to get him court marshalled to keep him of the field (yes there was a millitary court scene, few good men). I remember playing call of duty 1 remember one part where there where not enough guns and the play was just given bullets n told to run behind some one with a gun so if he died i got a gun n had extra ammo we were just cannon fodder. I admire the US Army for the lengths they went to stop him and the lengths he went to not go to war to kill. im gonna read the book to see if it delves deeper into the battle of ideaologies.
Overall this movie was average.
