For me it was about how much is spoken of the men, even with no sound of their actual words in those moments.
Like the guy humping the 125lb saddle up the muddy hill just to get it done. Or all the others that just grabbed the gear from the mules and humped them along the whole trail to accomplish the mission. The expressions were not (Jeez this sucks, ouch) it was just that glare of, I am walking from here to there.
The one soldier standing up from cover to take a few shots, pauses with thought and examination, then smirks when he realizes he did hit the bad guy, then settles in, picks new target.
Working with the local village people to move supplies while also keeping rapport happy in the AO.
The soldiers making fins for the depth charges from scratch to make a bigger bomb, because, hey the ones we have are not good enough, then using team work to set them up right.
Finally, the commanders absolutely leading from the front.
