3. Platoon 1986.

I can't watch war movies, due to traumatic occurrences when I was in the military. However I do know a few that people might like.

1) Full Metal Jacket
2) The Deer Hunter
3) The Rock <-- this one is more modern, but they showed us the same clip in boot camp every week.

Full Metal Jacket is a great war movie. I was trying to remember the name of this movie and I don't know why I was thinking Straight Metal Jacket was the name lol.

Not if you were in the Marines, it isn't. It's one of the worst triggers in cinema for a hell of a lot of us. I still have flashbacks, and none of the memories are good. If I could find a way to wipe out all my memories, I would be a much happier person.

Perfectly understandable, as I do suffer a bit of PTSD from being a Customs Officer and I doubt I've come even remotely close to what you experienced in the Marines.

Lone Survivor (2013)

American Sniper

Battleground

I think this three are the only ones that come to mind.

War is never easy and there's no way you would look at any way that it ends good for both sides. Whenever my father talks about the Nigerian Civil War we had here in 6th July 1967  to 15th January 1970, it was a horrible experience for them.

That's true mate.

I can't forget the horrible images of post civil war effects I saw in a nigerian civil war documentary and you can't help but feel the pains of those people who fought those war and how children died from it's effect.
