I had a pretty good view of Afghanistan and if you accept Afghanistan as the most modern interpretation of "war" then yes. I traveled mostly across Helmand and Nimroz, which were apart from some isolated mountainous regions, the most kinetic places in the country. > Does it exist such a thing as realistic or even gruesome war footage I don't know 100% what this means, it's phrased oddly so I'll do my best to answer it. Most war footage is gruesome, and much of it is captured by service members themselves. Next up would probably be the military's own "combat camera" which documents warzones from the front lines. For instance, this movie was a unit adjacent to mine: http://combatobscura.oscilloscope.net/ http://combatobscura.oscilloscope.net/ and was composed entirely of combat camera footage. Citizens documenting stuff is probably next, though I'd say it's value drops because it leaves out a lot of troop communication to know what was happening at the time. Most of the time when you see it, it's probably the kind of footage that is meant to frighten people at home because it's all post-action and carries very little explanation of what's going on at the time.
