It’s remarkable how much WWII has been filtered through a Hollywood lens for Americans.
Americans were “bitter, stoic, grim, impatient, and vengeful.” And the men were cynical and prone to hustling the system for their own personal gain.

No doubt, there was a great deal of heroism and American ingenuity on display during the war. Incredible stuff. But that makes the dark side (and I don’t mean bad, just ugly) all the more interesting.
The Fury pic is meant ironically. It’s one of the few WWII flicks that gets the anger and depression of the men at the end of the war. It hangs over the whole movie.
