DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick United States

His films like 'Paths of Glory' and 'Full Metal Jacket' brutally deconstruct military hierarchies that treat soldiers as expendable cannon fodder.

 Elem Klimov Soviet Union/Russia

'Come and See' is a devastating portrait of childhood destroyed by war where soldiers and civilians alike are treated as disposable by military machinery.
