The Green Zone to me is too much like the Bourne Identity with Matt Damen again
Well in my original argument was that Jeremy Renner cup and saucers his beretta in the movie as a soldier. I also said that the movie was repulsive and retard, and that I said Green Zone was better because they had excellent grips and trigger discipline. People decided to defend The Hurt Locker.

Trigger discipline aside, The Green Zone was too political a movie. It was trying to tell us a message about government lies and why we are over there than Hurt Locker which focused on just the soldiers. These average guys.

Thats what i liked about the hurt locker, the fact it was the average soldier and shown as good people, not the other crap out there that vilifies the average soldier.

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?

Well that's how shit runs down there. What, you think everyone is fucking happy to be there? This shit is damn near the truth. You need intel fast, you gotta do what you gotta do. No asking questions. You think it's a happy war with smiles and flowers? I've been there and done that down there and shit is ugly all over. It's kind of an asshole thing to put it in a movie but it's true.

Because the people who do this type of work are the interrogators not infantry (maybe SF, not sure) or other shit like that. Not even the enlisted ones either. The interrogation officers were widely known to torture captives in sick, twisted ways like the water torture for 48 to 72 hours or beatings,etc. Shit like this happens whether you believe it or not.

When I considered joining the Army a few years ago, one of the recruiters told me that if I went into intel they'd teach me how to torture people. I didn't even ask, he just volunteered that information.

It was a political movie trying to say the government lied about the war and there was no WMDS, even though fact stands there was.
