Ever notice... (movie related)

Movies made in the 1920-1950's show the military as being a proud, disciplined team and they make the military look like a good team to join, you know, the have professionalism and they get the girls!

but the movies that are out now a days are all about shooting, killing, things blowing up, taking advantage of situations (more action than drama related) and all that...nothing like the movies of the past...

just a thought... we're currently watching "to the shores of tripoli" on AMC and i'm really impressed with it. the plot is good, the drama is good... all around feel good movie and it makes me feel like the military is a pretty prestigious unit (proud of their heritage)!

granted, this movie is probably more of a PR movie since it came out in 1942 (right in the midge of WWII)....so why don't we have more PR movies like this? I haven't seen jarhead yet.. is that a PR type movie or just action for actions sake?
