But Hurt Locker doesn't portray the soldiers accurately at all. They didn't use common sense at all even though they thought they were doing the right thing. Green Zone portrays actual soldiers and actual thoughts that goes through a soldier's mind in that type of situation unlike Hurt Locker which was just pure stupidity on their part like shooting their own teammates, letting a LT. Colonel die, burning great intel for military intelligence, teaming up with random people, and random sniper duels. This is not a portrayl of real soldiers. It's a portrayl of morons who can't do their job right at all and should be dishonorably discharged being sent to Fort Leavenworth for attempted murder. At least in Green Zone, Matt Damon's character was productive towards his goal which was finding out the truth. In Hurt Locker, he didn't solve shit nor did he get anywhere besides letting two people die with their blood on his hands. He wanted to be a vigilante, well he really sucked at it. The whole plot was mindless and went nowhere. Besides the plots in the movies, Green Zone had better concept on how soldiers are unlike Hurt Locker which was directed by a damn woman who directed corny military & cop movies before like point break LOL.

And if Green Zone is such a disgrace to the military, then why was his whole unit in the movie, real Afghanistan/Iraqi War veterans?
