As far as "Paths of Glory" goes; one can see Adolphe Monjue as the actual "hero" of the movie and the Kirk Douglas character as an unrealistic sap.
Monjue realizes that France MUST beat Germany and this can ony be done by a disiplined army. Douglas takes the high road over three lives while hundreds of thousands are being killed until Germany is beaten. Monjue sees the big picture and Douglas the small one.
