A document of one of the most disastrous US military operations in modern history where the US got their asses absolutely kicked and were made to look like inept fools the entire time? Ya, military propaganda for sure.

If you think that any of the movies I listed were approved and financed by the US military you are hopeless. All of these movies demonized war and the military, and made joining and fighting in a war look like absolute hell. Not exactly a recruitment tool for our armed services.
Ever seen Coming Home or Friendly Fire? The pentagon was pissing hollow point bullets when those two got so many critical accolades.
