Reply to comment by Whittling-and-Tea in TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831
The movie is great as it's own thing. As an adaptation of the novel, it missed the mark and it lessened the book's message

So like the Starship Troopers of WW1?

Kinda-sorta, but in that case the movie wasn't missing the point of the book so much as expressly avoiding it and even parodying it.
