Nice broad brush re: movies about war fellas.

Yes we get that you are a slave to your own emotional interpretations of everything in general and are incapable of tempering them with logic.
The entire reason people watch war movies is to watch a glorified action movie. The entire reason they're made is to be glorified action movies, no matter what the director says. There are war movies that have important things to say, but that's not why people go to the movies. And the only war movies I ever see that you can make a case for not being propaganda are ones that go out of their way to **** on soldiers at least individually: Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, or that one movie with Emilio Estevez about Vietnam soldiers raping some woman.
