Hollywood anti-war movies
Hollywood went hippie left in the 60s and 70s and has been selling the same propaganda ever since: the military is fucked up, you can't trust your fellows because they'll all snap and start wearing ears as trophies, and you have to be broken to want to go, because you'll be broken by the time you come home. Just a small sampling of movies with that theme: Apocalypse Now, The Boys in Company C, Rolling Thunder, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Hamburger Hill, MASH, POW The Escape, Casualties of War, Rules of Engagement, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Born on the Fourth of July, Welcome Home, Heroes, Coming Home, The War at Home, Jackknife, Dr. Strangelove, In the Valley of Elah, The Kingdom, Paths of Glory, Johnny Got His Gun, Jarhead, No End in Sight, Redacted, War, Inc, The Thin Red Line, and so on, and so on. All selling the same message about the military -- soldiers are all fucked up individuals doing or trying to recovery from what their fellows did in war. (NOTE: See if you can name 5 movies (made after 1970), that showed that military people in general were good and decent people trying to protect the people they loved).
