War movies generally glorify soldiers, intentionally or otherwise. The gist is often that veterans went through crazy **** and we should respect them which by extension leads to support for the military and war even if the public aren't aware of it. I'd say that it's entirely possible that Saving Private Ryan is responsible for countless deaths by glorifying WW2 veterans and being probably the biggest war movie of all time. How many people were influenced to join the military and suck soldier cock because of that movie? Dunkirk's better about that than most movies since it doesn't glorify the soldiers themselves for the most part, but it does glorify the "miracle" which serves much the same purpose.
