I think that's the whole point. Nolte's character is supposed to be a stereotype, as are all the famous actors in the movie. Its saying that all Hollywood characters are stereotypes, as are most hollywood war movies, and do not accurately depict war.
As for the voice-overs, I thought they were rather poetic, but agree that they were overdone. However, I do not think that the images (the
one's that accompany voice-overs, as there are many images that speak for themselves and have no voice accompanyment) would be sufficient to describe/explain concepts without the voice overs.
