Best post WWII Military Films

[shahadi]

I found these films interesting. But, let me say, they are not like the John Wayne, rah rah war movies of yesterday, these films are raw, and at times unnerving.

Restrapo, had me asking about hesco barriers so that I could put together a scenario.

Then the follow-up film Korengal.

These films depict fighting in the Korengal valley in Afghanistan:

A third one, is Battle for Haditha

And, finally, The Hurt Locker

There are a lot of issues with 'The Hurt Locker' in terms of accuracy...

Not withstanding questions of accuracy, it remains a good story, not much different, although I suspect in some matters of truthfulness or falsehood, a hudge difference than the "شيطان رامري" (the Devil of Ramadi) non-story in the otherwise engaging "American Sniper" film.

I rather liked 'American Sniper' as a film. War is, after all, the ultimate 'us and them' is it not?
