So you like fiction? Sorry dude its war, shit like that happens and not just by American soldiers. Kubrick did a fantastic job portraying the characters in Full Metal Jackett. I have seen a ton of war films, foreign and US and some films I have enjoyed over the years are:

The Big Parade
Life is Beautiful
Dances with Wolves
Napoleon(1927 French version)
Hearts of the World
The Tuskegee Airmen
Lawrence of Arabia
Stachka
Gone with the Wind
Sommarnattens Leende
Seven Samurai
Schindler's List
Empire of the Sun
Ikiru
Tearing Down the Spanish Flag
Four Feathers (1939 version)
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
La Battaglia di Algeri
Hell's Angels
La Grand Illusion
Confessions of a Nazi Spy
The World of Apu
For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hellz yeah based on Hemingway's novel)
Immortal Batallion
The Age of Gold
Beauty of the Day
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Cria!

Anime:
Barefoot Gen
Grave of the Fireflies
Railroad to the Stars

If you like good portrays of American soldiers, go watch old John Wayne movies like Green Berets (which he fucking regreted doing), The Memphis Belle, Pearl Harbor, or Where Eagles Dare (that one had a phenomenal cast). If anyone hasn't seen Hotel Rwanda, go and see this wonderful film.
