"When I watch films about American (and Coalition) soldiers going through hell in occupied countries,"

No offense meant, but I don't think you understand "The Hurt Locker" The job the bomb disposal teams do has to be volunteered for. In fact the US forces are all volunteer. So that is twice they have to volunteer to get to that position. If they are going through hell, that particular hell is their own choice. That was not the case for most NAZI forces.

Little Hawk you may also find it worthy of note that Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) was a protege of James Cameron. (Avatar)

As a Canadian, I don't think that Cameron would have been allowed the access to make a movie like 0 Dark 30.
