Even the machinery of US military combat is portrayed non-heroically. Instead of the classic images of the US Cavalry courageously sweeping down on the savages, or of decent American doughboys bravely clearing out nests of Nazis, bored technocrats, insulated by immense layers of technology, firebomb green valleys, slaughtering enemy warriors and defenseless women and babies while sipping coffee and casually fiddling with touch screens.
甚至美国军队在该片的战争场面中所使用的武器也没有被描述为史诗般的壮观。与美国骑兵勇敢地扫平野蛮的敌人，或整齐的美国步兵英勇地扫荡了法西斯老巢的传统形象不同，无聊的技术官僚，由庞大的防护层保护着，一边喝着咖啡，随意触按着显示屏，一边轰炸着绿色山谷，屠杀着敌人的战士和毫无防卫能力的妇女和小孩。
