We have to sense the careless and frat-boy-like immaturity of these young men. It wouldn't have worked nearly as powerfully as it does had the first hour been trimmed down. The whole point of the movie is to show us how the various characters were affected by the war. They're not supposed to they're for character development. Of course many of the scenes in the first hour don't advance the narrative. In my opinion, these comments miss the point of the movie. A comment re the other comments: A lot of the comments criticize the first half hour as being too long.
