NOpe. I read the book. The book tells a good story and doesn't make the bugs seem dumb.
The movie was made in a very anti military vein. It was obvious the director hates the military.

No.
He was a child during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
He has vivid memories of allied bombing.
He is an actual anti-fascist.

I'd read the books several times before I finally saw the movie. I think the movie did the best job it could of trying to portray the militocracy world they lived in. They even openly question its right to exist morally, ethically, and technically (like they do in the book). And they do that at the public education level. No doubt that the author was highly affected by the experiences of his youth. But to me, he clearly had some admiration for the military. The heroes were in the movie were all military. I don't agree with your take on this.
As far as the topic is concerned, I agree with one of the other posters, try and make a gritty non-PC series out of it, with opportunistic bits of humor thrown in. No way Hollywood could capture the spirit of the original film and I think they would horribly fumble/bumble it into a mess if they tried to re-imagine the original source material with today's attitudes.
