    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)

      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

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