small scale tribal warfare that rarely crossed much in the way of territory exploded into continent-wide genocyde, due to the introduction of modern weaponry imo. its a mess.
as Ebert said of the movie, would have been cool if halfway through the movie, instead of pulling off this "core group of people must be saved and ill go back to my commanders after that", they did a sort of Heart of Darkness train of thought, say, the group continues fighting in the jungles indefinately. would have added a sort of morbid despondancy to the film, kind of regressed into typical american patriotic bunk through the latter third of the film.
