    Heartbreak Ridge (Grenada)

    The Good Shepherd (Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuba)

    Full Metal Jacket (Vietnam)

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

      Thanks for the laugh

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

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

              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.
