Hmmm, the only problem with this is...no one thinks that the theatrical version is "an uber realistic (anti-)war film". The author's feelings on the theatrical version are ACCURATE. But the Director's Cut and miniseries version are entirely different things. And yes, very realistic, dramatic, and indeed anti-war.
