War films are quite common in American culture. The plot-lines are typically from the view of Americans who would be fighting for or to protect their freedom. The films show the military as protectors of American freedom, since it was the US army that won America's freedom from England during the revolutionary war, and it is willed that the US army be always shown as liberators. The war films that are created with the purpose of justifying violence when their 'freedom' is threatened. The films will also desensitize the American audience to the idea of armed conflict. When the U.S. military invades a country, the American people, for the most part, would not see the invasion as an act of terror, but an act that is necessary for protecting their freedom. And with the help of these war films, they will begin to not question their leaders, but trust them that they're striving to benefit the people.
