I think the movie might be useful for those thinking of getting in the army.

The main point is that things like war and fear bring out the best in some, and the worst in others. It also has a lot to do with brotherhood and camaraderie, being a decent human being, and helping those you know can't help themselves.

In its historical context it's all about what a disaster old-fashioned brutal Army training can be when the recruits are demoralized about what they're getting into. It was 1971; I was just a little younger than these guys then. We knew the war was lost, we knew that much of the country was not in favor of it, and we knew that it was a horrifying experience with an objective that most of us could no longer see. That atmosphere doesn't exactly lead to the kind of esprit de corps needed for a successful military.

A Suck-Wasted and A Suck-Wasted II are my favorites, but A Suck-Wasted 3: The Suckening pretty much sucked.
