War movies rarely document the gay bullshit. I mean the whole reason they stopped bringing NVGs was because they had been getting exclusively dry holes for weeks prior, which would be lame as frick and boring; and while the movie does allude to that happening, it doesn't emphasize it.
Yes, unironically human brains are wired to find war cool even though it can objectively be hell and kill you or maim you.
Real war is being bored to death 95% of the time and getting artied/droned for the 5% remaining
Not like the good old days when it was walking or riding 80% of the time, getting besieged and starving/dying of plague 19% of the time, and 1% of the time spent clubbing and stabbing each other to death, sometimes tens of thousands over a few hours.
Warfare went into terminal decline when it stopped being groups of shirtless men with slings, clubs, and maybe a bronze sword mobbing each other with chariots being the OP new tech.
After that it became too much about gay logistics and alliances instead of "oh fuark, the Sea Peoples are back!"
Dude the DoD had their hands all over the entire production, it was planned to make you feel that way the moment the writing team had to sit in a room with an a Pentagon employee
Which was most likely a month or two after the project got greenlit or the first or second screenplay draft went in
Where do you think they got permission to as those vehicles, uniforms and weapons?
Majority of American "War is Hell" action movies are just thinly veiled recruitment campaigns
The original versions had end-cards about the two towers one airliner and the higher production staff said shit that boiled down to "War bad, but war good if we do it"
This. DOD assists with war movies exclusively for propaganda/recruitment use.
>Where do you think they got permission to as those vehicles, uniforms and weapons?
You don't need the army's permission for any of that shit. Sgt. Bilko, in fact, was specifically denied any help when they were filming it because the army brass thought it made the army look too bad.
3rd bn 160th soar fly for them in moracco for the movie, they absolutely needed DOD permission for a lot of stuff. I watched the movie at HAAF before it came out.
Is the movie as brutal as the book? I haven't seen the movie in over a decade, but I read the book a few years ago and it went into graphic deal about the wounds the Rangers were receiving.
>the book
The books (Blackhawk Down, Jarhead, Chickenhawk, etc.) are always better than the movies.
I'd say the one exception would be Tropic Thunder.
i remember seeing it when i was a kid so i recreated it on my city carpet with plastic soldiers and shit. making gun noises and explosions with my mouth and annoying my sister with it
Congrats, you've proved you're not only susceptible to D.O.D psyop propaganda but that it's effective on you. It's over anon. You've been modern day MK Ultra'd.
>what you see
IF I DIE IN A COMBAT ZONE, BOX ME UP AND SHIP ME HOME
>what you get
Ummm yeah, I'm gonna need you to fill out this form again, the quartermaster got drunk and vomited all over his paperwork. Oh, and can you be up at 4am to help prepare for the welcoming ceremony for our new French liaison that will be here all of two days? Thanks.
>be kid
>watch We Were Soldiers, Black Hawk Down, 3 Kings
>"frick yeah military is awesome"
>be teenager
>watch Jarhead
>"you know what, maybe college isn't that bad"

Only people who are lacking a strong human connection will feel that way. You have a longing for the love between soldiers that you see in those war movies not for the actual military service or the shit you have to do. Maybe look into expanding person connections in your life, op.
All Hollywood war movies are just thinly veiled US military propaganda.
Watch Stalingrad (1993), then report back whether you still think there's glory and excitement in war.
It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow to fond of it.
