Sorry gentlemen, but the correct answer has NOT been given.My refer to the term Gung Ho was meant as a description of the type of movie so prevelent in the Cold War era American film business.THe name of this flick ..well a hint that gives it away...something to do with common battlefield tactics...
As in always when possible and smart, seek the high ground... Now guys whats the title?? lol

No thanks Hans. It was not an answer but information on a movie you knew nothing about besides a 1970s comic by the same name. I’m staying on the sideline for this one.

Seek and take would be more appropriate. Any more of those clues and you might as well give ‘em the whole title... :)
Hope I didn’t give too much away... sideline and all (as Mark would say... Bahaaha!).

Nope, this movie weas made in 1953, I watched it late last night on the bigass screen tv while playing with dogs, and realised this flick is really bad.Filled with typical 1950's nonsense, but I had to watch it aginas I needed some punishment for being way too mellow yesterday at the homestead. I'll give you all another clue, this one will give it away.. Major stars are R.W. & K.M. as *mean*Drill Sargents babysitting new recruits at Ft Bliss Basic Training Depot..

Helmut,

Mark is probably referring about the 1974 DDR/DEFA production "Jakob der Lügner", E: "Jacob the Liar", but I am not sure?

Could be also a still shot from the 1999 remake, USA production.
