OK first things first, this film is bad, like a film students first movie bad. It has that awkward disjointed type of acting where the lines don't so much seem to be in response to what the other person said, so much as canned exclamations that don't really fit.
The plot doesn't make much sense, and also has a weird vibe like it's trying to portray veterans as some kinda of sadist psychopaths which feels a little insulting. There also seems to be a complete disconnect from logical behaviour, with the cast regularly doing the exact opposite of what you would expect someone to do in a similar situation, the landmine scene?
Top this off with the bad guy having the weirdest mumbling accented voice that is legitimately so hard to understand I almost put on captions, a musical score that seems to be picked randomly from someone CD collection which feels completely out of place everytime it chimes in and a cast you honestly barely know and couldn't care less about.

I honestly don't know what they're trying to do with this season. I actually enjoyed the first two, but I'm now 5 episodes in and it's getting progressively more difficult to watch.
It seems like every episode has some cringy, fluffy, emotional heart to heart every 10 minutes where they cry and tell each other what great people they are. I honestly wouldn't care that much if it was occasional and well timed, but it's not, it's incessant and relentless and as soon as one whiny scene is over you get hit with another a few minutes later.
This is further compounded by the fact that what actually happens in the episode, apart from the emotional diatribe, could be written on half a napkin which leaves you wondering what you just spent 30 minutes watching.
