Old School War Movies Every Recruit Needs to Watch
There's no shortage of good war movies, from the likes of the more well-known crowds like Saving Private Ryan and Letters from Iwo Jima, to more less frequented titles, such as The Hunt for Red October and Good Morning, Vietnam, there's a vast array of names to choose from when in the mood for some patriotic entertainment. Especially if you're a newly minted recruit, or even a longtime veteran, these following war films lend credence to the brotherly bond so attributed to the battlefields of old, and how this firm familiarity between soldiers seemingly outlasts the test of time. This is one of the many benefits of being an army recruiter, talking good old war stories to the youth, exhibiting the qualities of a natural born leader, and identifying with the quintessential essence of the warrior in your heart.
Salvador LorenzPublished 6 years ago in ServeMovie Review: '12 Strong'
The story of the Horse Soldiers of Afghanistan in the wake of the September 11th attack is pretty damn remarkable. As told in 12 Strong, 12 American soldiers became the first American soldiers to hit back at al Qaeda by riding horses over some of the roughest terrain on the planet and taking the fight to the enemy in a way that hadn’t been seen since Roosevelt and The Rough Riders.
Sean PatrickPublished 6 years ago in ServeReview: By Dawn's Early Light (1990)
The Cold War and the ever-looming threat of nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union inspired many works of its time. These included films that explored just how a nuclear war might begin with such classic 1960s films as Stanley Kubrick's dark comedy Dr. Strangelove and the more serious Fail Safe. Coming at the tail end of the Cold War in 1990 between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the break up of the Soviet Union, HBO's By Dawn's Early Light was the last triumphant grasp of that sub-genre of Cold War storytelling as it told a gripping tale of potential Armageddon on the edge of peace.

Riley Raul ReesePublished 6 years ago in ServeBest Prisoner of War Films of All Time
It's finally time. To stand, to escape, to prosper; whatever it may be that drives them, the prisoners of war epitomized among the following war movies take charge like never before. When it comes to crafting a true story on the silver screen, or simply engineering your own fiction on the imprisonment of soldiers, humanity itself is by far the most poignant theme that must be expressed throughout.
