The Hurt Locker (2010)

An excellent, hard-hitting film on the Iraq war. It focuses on the
bomb-disposal unit and the daily life-or-death situations they
encounter attempting to diffuse road-site bombs. It left me feeling,
on the one hand, respect for the American soldiers having to deal with
such treacherous conditions, and on the other, anger at the futility
and wastefulness of the whole enterprise.
