The politics in both the book and film stress the morally-
improving (and citizenship-confirming) need for the individual to
make their contribution to society through (life-threatening)
military action.

To represent this cinematically, it doesn't make much sense to
have crew-served weapons or AFV's... what sort of *individual*
contribution would that be?
