War isn't pretty. Odds are you know of someone in the military, or at least have had a relative in one of the many wars from our brutal past. Either way, it doesn't take an astrophysicist to know how utterly destructive war is to many various things, such as international relations, the human psyche, physical health, Earth itself, and much more. Whether or not there is a victor, and even if it is America that triumphs, there is no happy endings in any war, nor is there really a true winner. That's the myth of war, the fact that nothing but death comes with it.

Some of those who've never experienced the military life want to know what it feels like, how it was, and every aspect of the journey helping our country. Sometimes, not every film or every novel can cover enough of the answers to our questions — there's definitely a lot when it comes to the military. The training, the actual fighting, socialization, and even military traditions are fascinating. Almost every single solider in the military has a different feeling and approach to their experiences. That's why there's so many amazing documentaries and books based on these soldiers and what they went though. Like these Navy SEAL movies.
