Yeah, Mogadishu is in Iraq. How forgetful of me.

TV show, but Generation Kill probably has the most realistic depiction of the military in any piece of media, not just Iraq.

Not a movie but I really do recommend Generation Kill. It is peak everything military related. The youtube video "Generation Kill Review: Complete Honesty About War (Reborn)" is also really nice if you need a bit of taste of what the mini series is truly like before watching.

People misinterpret the hell out of the show and it infuriates me to no end. They only remember the edgy, brutal parts rather than the humanization of the soldiers. That's what separates the greatness of this mini series compared to everything else in modern day media of the low IQ twitter user message of "War is le bad".

Marine Vet here. "Lone Survivor" is a Must! I know Marcus Luttrell. His brother is also a US representative in the House.

Stay away from SEAL movies if you want a honest story. Good cinematography but SEALs have very unreliable accounts of what happened when pushed against differing information from other perspectives/individuals around them when said events happened (Lone Survivor, American Sniper). Yellow Birds and Sand Castle are good though.
