But I will...but there's been a whole load of wars in iraq over Millennia. Alexander the Great?
Anyway, aside from being a nit-picking idiot, Imma put forward a kinda movie - Generation Kill. Ok it's not a movie at all, but it so comprehensively overshadows any other Iraq film I'll hand the gong to it anyway.

Are all the same thing? I mean, the U.S. fought them (I'll give you leeway on the R.W.) And they were fought on American soil, so it's the same thing, right?

Call it an action flick set in Iraq, or an action movie set in a war theater but it had waaayy too many mistakes for it to be considered a war movie. The movie fucks realism for drama every chance it takes.
