He's just a bed partner

This film describes three relationships, the ambiguity between the soldier and his ex-girlfriend, his superiors, and his widow. Perhaps the focus of this film is the last paragraph, but what attracts me is the disconnection with my ex-girlfriend. The boyfriend went to the battlefield and did not want to wait, so he made another love. This is excusable, but it shouldn't be a secret tryst after the soldier returns. After the soldiers arrived at the engagement scene, the fiance was so virtuous. No wonder this woman couldn't let go of both sides, one money and one body!

Captain Tony Stone: You gotta wake the fuck up! You're not in high school, you're not in a fuckin' rock band, you're in the Army.
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Yeah, I know. I know I'm in the Army. I gave blood to the Army. I got blown up in a fire-fight that lasted longer than your entire war. I didn't sunbath in Kuwait with the rest of the POGs.
