On top of that, the filmmaker spent the extra time and expense to insure reasonable technical accuracy.
If anything, Oddball subliminally told us it was okay to view the film from our vantage point of 1970. Yes, Donald Sutherland was clearly cast out of time, from the 60s, but he somehow personified the rebel in all of us, and that spans generations. Those who have served in the military have all met characters like the ones in Kelly's platoon, even Oddball. The story is preposterous, but in the confusion of war we can believe something like this could happen.
The film is believable because it stretches, but never steps over, the line of plausibility. There's no message here just pure entertainment. What makes Kelly's Heroes a success is that the director never forgot that the point of comedy is to make us laugh. (Quite frankly, I did not like the film MASH because I felt it did try to trivialize war). It portrays a comedy within the boundaries of war's absurdity.
