Good point, but I don't see "Black Hawk Down" or "We Were Soldiers" as glorying war. I think they very explicitly detail the brutality of war, and in that light, call us to respect and pay tribute to those who have faught and died for our freedoms. "Saving Private Ryan," on the other hand, is a movie that glorifies war, and that's why I didn't include it. "Braveheart" on the other hand is a film, not about war so much as it is about freedom and the price we have to pay for that freedom, which does not come easily. My two cents.

Considering that I own every film from "Black Hawk Down" to "Saving Private Ryan" that you mentioned I am not one to talk! I don't think they are "conservative" but they are great pieces of film work and they honor those who served in such similiar engagements.
