I think the only country that’s legit happened to was Iraq,

MAS*H (Korea)

Jarhead (Iraq, but the first time)

Lone Survivor (Afghanistan)

The Men Who Stare at Goats (Guantanamo Bay Torture Facility in Cuba)

Letters from Iwo Jima (Pacific Theater - WW2)

Saving Private Ryan (European Theater - WW2)

Heartbreak Ridge (Grenada)

Full Metal Jacket (Vietnam)

Rambo (Vietnam)

Apocalypse Now (Vietnam)

We Were Soldiers (Vietnam)

Good Morning, Vietnam (Vietnam)

Yes, because fucking Rambo of all movies is about how bad american soldiers felt about what they did.

Thanks for the laugh

    It’s funny, but it’s not true.
    
    It’s something like “the gallant people of Afghanistan” and always was.

    It was on TV month ago and that screencap is how it read. I remembered because I commented my son about it.
    
    Regional differences?

  The first Rambo was definitely about PTSD and how the act of killing fucks up American soldiers.

  I think you’re confusing Rambo First Blood, which is about how fucked up he was coming back from Vietnam, with the Rambo sequels, which are about how cool blowing stuff up is.

  Yes, it is, have you ever seen the movie? What a dumb comment.

I don’t think you’ve seen some of these movies if you think it has anything to do with how sad it made them.

  MASH is about saving war casualties and they make light of it all the while
  
  Saving Priyate Ryan is a WW2 movie that happens whether or not Matt Damon is involved
  
  Jarhead is an accurate portrayal of the Suck
  
  Not sure what point OP is trying to make here

I don’t know about the others, but MAS*H seems to be heavily anti-war. Hawkeye obviously has deep contempt for the war and generals, and the more pro-war characters are decipted as insufferable pieces of shit.

    It’s actually about how shitty US vets are treated by the US. But the pew-pew takes lead in the eyes of most viewers, yes.

Just to pick one, Jarhead is not repeat not a war film. It’s about the Suck and sometimes you train for training sake
