Tactical Doctrine Question

[AlienXXX]

Once I saw a program about the making of Saving Private Ryan.
The actors actually went through recruit training, were marched for hours and had to lie in the mud for the making of the movie.
They wanted the actors to feel as much as possible the pain and the exhaustion of the WW2 soldier.

If that was commercial stunt, a way to actually get the actors to step into the roles they were playing or simply a way of turning them into half bearded and smelly men... I leave it up to you to decide.
I think it is a great movie.

I think the military expert suffers the same frustration at watching a war movie as the scientist when watching some so-called "Science" fiction movies.
Rule of thumb: a movie is just that, entertainment. If you want realism, watch documentaries :cool::)
