"Nothing happens" because the movie's really about nothing but this character, and his "addiction" to his job... again, the movie's a character study of an addiction junkie who just happens to be a soldier. The movie's not concerned with "accuracy," except to try to understand this person's behavior and the reasoning behind why he does what he does.

It's also not really concerned with "plot." Yeah, there's a countdown device detailing how many days he has left in service but the movie's not really about whether or not this guy will survive long enough to make it to the end of his term.

And to me, saying, "well, it's bad because it's not really believable" is saying the same thing as, "it's bad because it's not accurate." Same difference.
