Sniper is full of the later, starting with the suggestion that Kyle was in Iraq was 911, which was well-debunked a decade ago. Then suggesting that if Kyle was wrong to shoot someone, he'd end up in military prison - a farce as the U.S. made the puppet government it set up agree to give American's immunity from war crimes. But even the puppets got fed up and refused to let the U.S. go on shooting Iraqis for shits and giggles without consequence. Then there's the rationalization of murdering a woman and a boy because they were going to throw a grenade at the hostile, torturing, shoot-first-ask-questions-never army occupying their country. To use the movie's own metaphor, American forces were the wolves, and the "insurgents" were the sheepdogs trying to drive out the invaders who came on false pretenses.
Zero Dark 30 was a similar POS, for making the equally debunked claim that torture led to the successful assassination of Bin Laddin. On the other side of the coin, Selma might have won best picture if it hadn't relied on it's own historical revisionism, when it made out LBJ as being an opponent of civil rights that had to be won over into an ally. A lie, and a lazy one at that - if they wanted to throw rocks at LBJ, all they had to do was bring up Vietnam, another aggressive war of choice that MLK adamantly opposed. Which disproportionately affected black men, as they were far less likely to have the means to dodge the draft by going to college, or flee it entirely by going to Canada or Mexico.
