The varieties of training techniques used by the army in converting civilians to soldiers are illustrated in scenes of drills, M-16 and bayonet use, a gas chamber, mines, night crawls, an infiltration course and the many forms of ideological training familiar to millions of men and women who have served in the armed forces.

Another great documentary from Frederick Wiseman. Like his other work, its biggest virtue is that, without any talking heads etc., it allows more engagement with the footage and is much more neutral, significant for a work about the American military during the Vietnam war, allowing one to judge what we see from our own thoughts while showing the people as ordinary people who just happen to be in the army.
