Perhaps not about 'war' , but uses war in general,

and Guadalcanal specifically, as a context for his views on man vs. nature.

This is nothing new. War and battle have often been used to mine the 'true nature of man's soul'. Was Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' a "war" movie? Not really. But it used one incident in WW1, and the characterizations of the men involved, to show the dimensions of man. Romantic. Realist. Coward. Politico. Criminal Murderer. And more. All revolving around Kirk Douglas's character's desperation to do the right thing in a world where morality is the only human condition that's not allowed.
