Honestly, most good (Anti) War Movies i know are set in Vietnam.

When i think of movies in the middle east, it´s US Slopaganda like Jarhead, Blackhawk Down and American Sniper

You have to look for movies made during the war to get the spicy stuff. Most famously, The Green Berets, a movie so bad that when they showed it to marines in Vietnam, they wanted to go back to work. Roger Ebert gave 0 stars, bless his soul.

My favorite shamelessly openly propaganda movie is Red Dawn, the one about a ragtag team of teenagers guerilla fighting off a joint invasion of the US by the USSR and Communist Latin Americans. Wolverines!
