original point.
As far as bureaucracy, you obviously didn't see "Lebanon." The tank crew repeatedly were told not to leave the area; they were told to trust in the Phalangists. The film also exposed the myth of the "superior officer."
The Israeli films, of course, had exactly the same "theme" as "Paths of Glory:" war is cruel, brutal, and senseless and the most devastating decisions are made by men who view the lives of their soldiers as pieces on a chessboard.
