every war movie is very suttle in that they try not to glorify war,

You've made a very good point, smokey. No one in his or her right mind wants to go to war, unless they figured out how to profit from it. Willing to go, maybe, but not wanting to.
While some of the trailers and movie posters for various war movies try to imply they are glorifying war, I feel many of them are dramatized documentary of real events. In particular, the war movies that John Wayne was in showed the down side of war, at the same time giving you an idea of what the events were that actually took place, and maybe the reasons people were willing to be there.
My favorite JW war movie is They Were Expendable. IMO, John Ford did a great job of showing how drab a war time situation could be, especially when you are in a retreating mode.
