Sorry but I can't relate to your question - are you saying his dislike for the movie is due to the fact he didn't fear being drafted?
That would exclude many movies using your logic.
I've watched the movie a few times but although they took liberties in some areas the truth is that the war caused many soldiers to loose their minds/souls. This movie took it to the extreme. Personally I'm not a big fan of the movie either though there were parts that were filmed very well. That being said - I don't think it was meant to be a authentic representation of the day - but like Lord of the Flies - a general overview of the human condition when men are placed in a situation beyond what anyone could endure. Someone who was once innocent - kind and loving turns into a psychotic killer and insane
