Many documentaries suffer from an abundance of interviews of contemporary witnesses ; often old people who give accounts of what they have experienced .
Which could be a good thing, if only those interviews wern't almost always comically stereotypical , carefully rehearsed , and utterly boring .
This film makes those people the narrators of the entire documentary . With all due respect to the men who served , that style choice made this a pain to watch, and didn't deliver any content or information on the topic .
Not the veterans' fault at all of course, but that of directors and producers who drag out those poor old chaps to patch up their lazy work .
