I agree with you, war movies are drastically different from plain action movies. But one thing that I've always considered when I watch them is a sense of duty, and heroicism in the fact that kids fighting and dying in war are not super human, but average human beings doing their best under the worst situations. The best war movies show the weaknesses of soldiers as they push through to victory. Good list, and another great hub!
Yes, you are right.

Interesting list about what attracts someone to watch war movies. I like war movies myself but I never considered why. Seeing the list I think that I watch them predominantly for reason 1. A good credible story is a must for me too.
