The thing movies can't capture is how vivid and colorful and surreal everything is. At least for me.
And the smell. And the heat/cold. Hard to convey that in a movie.
I could live to be 150 and never forget what Iraq smelled like.

My ex husband went to Desert Storm and just my experience of being here with babies while they are across the world fighting is enough to keep me from watching war movies. He has been a drug addict ever since he returned (thanks to the "candy man" military doctor/and ptsd I am sure- he was injured and his battle buddy lost multiple limbs).
I have remarried and my husband now watches war movies only if I am not home and I did not do well at the WWII museum in nola, especially the movie. I thought the two wars were so far separated that the history wouldn't affect me but it did.
