    M*A*S*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)

    The Good Shepherd (Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuba)

    Full Metal Jacket (Vietnam)

    Rambo (Vietnam)

    Apocalypse Now (Vietnam)

    We Were Soldiers (Vietnam)

    Good Morning, Vietnam (Vietnam)

      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

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

      Thanks for the laugh

          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.

        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 after coming back from Vietnam, with the Rambo sequels, which are about how cool it is to blow stuff up.

          It’s funny, but it’s not true.

          It’s something like “the gallant people of Afghanistan” and always was.
