The Guide to Movies for Vets
Watching war movies can be a great way for veterans to process their experiences. It also helps those who haven’t experienced war better understand what soldiers may have been through and how this effects their lives after their service is over. This guide was created to help make picking the right war movie significantly easier, considering the shear amount of war movies that currently exist.
