■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Condemned men as material
Reason: Men already rejected by the system are converted into military resources.
Related Film: Suicide Squad - Middle: Discipline through mission
Reason: Fragmented criminals become a unit only through coercion, training, and shared danger.
Related Film: The Guns of Navarone - Core: Redemption through expendability
Reason: Moral value is restored only inside a mission that also treats the men as disposable.

■ Secondary Axes
- Irregular violence under official order: The state authorizes those it condemns when their violence becomes useful.
Related Film: Inglourious Basterds - Anti-heroic war utility: The mission rejects clean heroism and exposes war as a system that weaponizes damaged men.
