Of the "heroic sacrifice" variety - a wounded soldier voluntarily stays behind to protect a handheld nuke and buy time for his allies to escape, which explodes and kills him.

SEVERE FLASHING!!! Computers flash as well as gun fire and electric rounds in training that flash. One of the computers flashes almost 10 times in what feels like a second. These scenes WILL cause seizures. Use caution.

kind of? the imagery (uniforms, propaganda film style) mimics that of n*zis and that era of film. the director isn't sympathizing with the n*zis but this imagery is very prevalent.
