Combat!: The Long Wait (1965) (TV)

Saunders and his men are riding in a truck with some wounded soldiers and a load of ammunitions. They meet with a German machine-gun nest on the road, and must wait for a tank before they may proceed. Meanwhile a soldier who is riding along with them keeps pushing Saunders into doing something other than waiting.

It clearly disregards psychological verisimilitude in favor of dynamics coupled with simplistic discussions. I am not very fond of this episode.
