In war fathers bury their sons

Desmond is a nutter. He enlists in the army to join the forces in WWII, but refuses to touch a rifle. Stuck deep in his religious blindness he's stubborn as fuck, so he has to conquer several obstacles to get to the war he dislikes so much. It's decent enough a war flick, particularly doin' the intensive action sequences where bullets fly and people die, the director Mel Gibson is on his element. However the portrayal of the god-loving pacifist vegetarian war hero is borderline pathetic.
