&#8212; and he adds that &#8220;while it doesn&#8217;t contend that wars shouldn&#8217;t be conducted, it succeeds as an anti-war film because it makes it clear that the innocent, powerless men in the trenches will always be at the mercy of the super-patriotic, narrow-minded generals who are obsessed with flag and country but have no feelings for the obedient foot soldier.&#8221;
