Do It - One! is a critical look at institutional corruption rather than a study of identity politics. It succeeds in dismantling the romanticized image of soldiers by depicting military life as a place of systemic abuse and predatory behavior. The film's progressive stance lies in its rejection of state-mandated discipline as a moral good. Instead, it promotes individual moral decision-making against a corrupt hierarchy. However, the film remains confined to a masculine, military-centric world. It lacks depth in representing gender, race, or sexual orientation beyond the context of its setting.

He resists as much as he can to the three "grandfathers" who, on the eve of demobilization, decide to recoup as much as possible on the "turtles" for past humiliations.
