Author and former serviceman George MacDonald Fraser is skeptical about the accuracy of the film's military details in his book "The Hollywood History of the World" (1988); for example, he notes that, in the climactic scene with the wounded female sniper, properly trained marines would automatically comb the area for other snipers, and that, by standing around discussing at length whether or not to shoot her, Joker and his colleagues would ensure themselves limited life expectancy in an actual combat scenario. Fraser calls their experiences in camp "a caricature of military discipline"; however, bearing in mind that characters in Il dottor Stranamore - Ovvero: come ho imparato a non preoccuparmi e ad amare la bomba (1964) are caricatures of American soldiers, that characters in Arancia meccanica (1971) are caricatures of probation, police and prison officers, and that characters in Barry Lyndon (1975) are caricatures of British soldiers and aristocracy, this may well have been Kubrick's intention.
