****************************************************** That's
a slightly simplistic analysis. From THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE
on, the American protagonist is self aware and does not
proclaim his rightness by following rules but by his
right-minded intentions. PLATOON examines a circumstance
where what was right stopped in Washington D.C. Whatever
these guys do is going to be partly immoral by the standards
they've been raised with. Survival is their primary goal and
the bravest do not. The most unscrupulous or objective do. If
you judge the characters by your own standards while they
obviously don't have your advantages, you're not going to get
the movie.
