You know, most War movies are anti-war by their very nature. You think of the great war pics All Quiet on the Western Front, Hells Angels, Platoon, Iron Cross, saving private Ryan, etc. They all carry a anti-war message, the futility of such mass slaughter.

The only exception to this rule are the John Wayne WWII flicks which are considered totally unrealitic due to the fact that combat and horrors of war have been largely sanitized, giving the impression that war is like going camping. -I think Saving Private Ryan single handedly made those films obsolete. Personally I can no longer watch them.

Mind you, there is a difference between anti-war and anti-military.
