While this movie played on a lot of the cliches of many military films, it differentiates itself in some very important ways. It works hard at showing the challenges and humanity of the soldiers on both sides of the war. It celebrates valor, heroism, and loyalty. It shows the sacrifice that soldiers have to make, and how difficult balancing their career and life can be. There are some traditional values on full display that were a great reminder.
