Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016)
Not anywhere near reality

Not the absolute worst Iraq movie that I've ever seen, but close to it. It in NO WAY reflects reality and is a dig at the war and soldiers in general. If you were "over there" you'd probably chuckle at the stupid characterizations that most civilians imagine a tour of Iraq was like. Some vets might get mad, but just remember that it's Hollywood. My only complaint is that they use soldiers to protest the war, when in fact- most of us are proud of our service there. I did three tours of combat duty in Iraq (Ramadi, TQ, and Q-West) and none of them are anywhere near this movie's portrayal. If you want to hear about the REAL war, ask a vet- some of us wouldn't mind answering questions.
