The closest I have seen is The Hornets Nest. But that is documantary filmed by a father/son team. They very nearly buy the farm a few times at one point an infantryman comments on how a .50 DhSK barely missed them then picks up one of the still warm slugs.

Another would be Restrepro another doc. Of course you get to watch from saftey though I recon you might choke on popcorn.

The way I see it no movie, no matter how "accurate" can be a realistic portrayal of war. Bill Mauldin (or maybe it was Ernie Pyle) once commented that to make a movie realistic the audience should have to endure random sniper fire while they watch it.

Part of me wants to experience war first hand, so I can understand what soldiers go through.

The other part of me wants to live.

I'd listen to the part of you that wants to live...it gets you through a lot of situations.

You cant have one without the other. I thought you admired the Spartans. We are all going to die someday and you never know when your number is up. Some drunk driver might run you down next week but you wont know it.

You wont get to walk in the fields of Elysium. The best you can do is have empathy which Id say you seem to have it.
