The only action outside training I recall is the opening chapter where they are bounding over a technologically inferior civilization and absolutely leveling everything with flame throwers and tactical nukes, I don't know how a film audience will see this as anything other than Iraq/Afghanistan but cool that it's happening, or IDF bombing Gaza but presented as a good thing.
