    How do they make you disregard him?

    That is a very logical response to the situation, but he is deeply mentally ill and psychotic by the end scene due to the extreme stress, despite not starting that way.

    No sane or well person shoots someone and then kills themselves while doing drill commands in a bathroom in the dark with a rifle and trying to lure someone in to kill them.

    He doesn’t die for his defiance. He kills himself in a psychotic break.

      The very way you just described is how they make you ignore his resistance.

      I’m not saying it’s some sort of Marxist masterpiece by the way. I just think it was the intention.

        The way I described it is simply what happens in the movie. He had no resistance, he had no plan, he had no ideology, or grand vision. He has a psychotic break. The military is hell.

        You’re creating a story about a character that was never told. They don’t need you to ignore him, because they don’t paint him as a Marxist, or a someone who’s a stalwart resistor.
