Realistic?
Yeah right, and I have a Abram M1A3 in my parking lot.....
Nothing realistic have EVER come out of Hollywood, as far as war films is concerned. They all degenerate into "anti-war" films with stupid Messages to make you fear war. Then the others that are not "anti-war" are just a bunch of cheap flicks with bad scripts from people that have never put one foot on a battlefield.
And even worst, books that are suppose to be "real memories" from war veterans end up tuned down to be politicaly correct and not upset the readers.......

You have to put things into perspective.
It was alot more realistic than the movies before it.

Have you seen "Schindler's list"? Quite good and based on true persons and events. But still a bit fictionalized I think.
You can ofcourse make a movie of 13 people sitting in a tent for three hours while two stand post outside, realistic war movie? yes. Good movie? no.
(No I'm not talking about any war that involves USA)
