I found the movie annoying and pathetic. So much so, you're fat fetched to even consider calling it a war movie. Perhaps it looks into a soldier's life, but it has nothing to do with war.
The movie was based on masturbation and wondering around in the desert. I guess they chose to do a movie in the desert so they could use one set and say they were lost...
The masturbation was unnecessary, disgusting, and pointless. It's making me wonder whether Brokeback Moutain was done before or after this...
