I have no idea why some claim it’s a “conservative” movie — Iraqi and Afghanistan troops were very much against it, because it’s highly inaccurate, according to those who fought in those wars.

Some Iraq, Afghanistan war veterans criticize movie ‘Hurt Locker’ as inaccurate

Time magazine called “The Hurt Locker” “a near-perfect war film,” but Ryan Gallucci, an Iraq war veteran, had to turn the movie off three times, he says, “or else I would have thrown my remote through the television.”

Many in the military say “Hurt Locker” is plagued by unforgivable inaccuracies that make the most critically acclaimed Iraq war film to date more a Hollywood fantasy than the searingly realistic rendition that civilians take it for.
