    I think the only country that’s legit happened to was Iraq,

    M*A*S*H (Korea)

    Jarhead (Iraq, but the first time)

    Lone Survivor (Afghanistan)

    The Men Who Stare at Goats (Guantanamo Bay Torture Facility in Cuba)

    Letters from Iwo Jima (Pacific Theater - WW2)

    Saving Private Ryan (European Theater - WW2)

    Heartbreak Ridge (Grenada)

    The Good Shepherd (Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuba)

    Full Metal Jacket (Vietnam)

    Rambo (Vietnam)

    Apocalypse Now (Vietnam)

    We Were Soldiers (Vietnam)

    Good Morning, Vietnam (Vietnam)

      Yes, because fucking Rambo of all movies is about how bad american soldiers felt about what they did.

      Thanks for the laugh

        I think you’re confusing Rambo First Blood, which is about how fucked up he was after coming back from Vietnam, with the Rambo sequels, which are about how cool it is to blow stuff up.

          It’s funny, but it’s not true.

          It’s something like “the gallant people of Afghanistan” and always was.

              Possibly.

              The English language version is here at 2:30

              It’s not out of the question because Afghanistan were on our side back then, and by on our side, I mean America gave them weapons to fight the Russians, and then abandoned them immediately the second Russia gave up.

              It’s just I’ve never seen any real evidence of it… It’s always just that one still which seems to be from a second or so before the real one.

          It’s actually about how shitty US vets are treated by the US. But the pew-pew takes lead in the eyes of most viewers, yes.
