This article is probably the most interesting and most insightful of all. It is written by a veteran of the Iraqi war and his brother a total pacifist. The brothers discuss how the overall reception by critics and Academy Awards as a factual and realistic movie really skews the true qualities of the film. Apparently the film is far from realistic and it is actually quite inaccurate.
I will use this article to understand how the film is inaccurate in the eyes of actual soldiers while also getting a better understanding of why the non-combative audience believes this film to be so true to the classic american war hero. I will also use this article to get some background from a source I believe to be credible.
