While I understand that war does terrible things to men, I don't think that this was a representation of any large portion of the U.S. troops in WWII. I doubt that many of us believe that the members of our families that served were psychotic near-rapists. I know that atrocities happened, my grandfather was in France in WWI and always said that the Americans treated the locals' property way worse than the Germans had.
I'd think that Band of Brothers and Private Ryan are better representations of the majority of the combat troops. Those men resemble the men that I grew up with that served in Europe and the Pacific.
With all of that said, this was an interesting and moving film, but I couldn't have cared less for the characters played by Peña and Bernthal. It is what it is, but I had more sympathy for most of the Germans shown than for those two guys. The deaths of those two only mattered to me because they it lessened the safety of the characters that I did care about.
