Seriously. Starship Troopers. It's a satire about the morality of expeditionary war.

Tim Horton

Casualties of War, Platoon, Hamburger Hill. I believe those are the only ones that I that I have actually watched.

whichever had Michael J Fox protecting a Vietnamese refugee from being raped by Sean Penn and one of the drunk Baldwin Brothers. I was a kid when I watched so I could be off with some of my "facts".

It's an ATG amongst films, and my favorite animated piece of all time.

While it does deal with the circumstances of war, I still consider it an animated piece first and foremost, hence why I didn't nominate it.

If I had considered it a war film, it'd be #1.
