I thought The Patriot was pretty fair and non-sensationalist.

The Deer Hunter.
Apocalypse Now.
The Boys in Company C.
Johnny Got His Gun.
Coming Home.
Black Hawk Down.
Platoon.
Grave of the Fireflies.
Paths of Glory.
Das Boot.

Again, not cool to broad brush.

It's not cool to strawman, either. Propaganda is not synonymous with bad art. ****, some of the best art is propaganda because it has ridiculous government funding behind it.

Holy ****, Blackhawk Down? Really? That's one of the worst. You might as well add We Were Soldiers to the list.

And don't most American war movies get backed by the Pentagon so the movie makers can get their expertise and equipment without having to actually buy their own military, of course so long as the military gets to have input on the script?

Chula Vista

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.

Don't resort to your old ways. I was getting use to the new and improved you.

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.

The ones that I've seen on the list demonize war by way of sympathizing the war criminals aka troops. Boom, propaganda. Pun intended.
