Historians believe the first war took place in Mesopotamia in 2,700 B.C. In fact, of the past 3,400 years, humans have been at peace for only 268. This is all to say that for millennia, there has been a fascination with war—both the waging of it and the recounting of its stories. Since the start of civilization, people have engaged in war and recounted conflicts through oral, visual, and written storytelling. The 20th century saw this type of storytelling evolve into motion pictures. In fact, one of the earliest films ever made, 1915’s “Birth of a Nation,” was about the Civil War and subsequent Reconstruction. Even before making that controversial film, directorD.W. Griffith had made numerous one-reelers centered on the events of the Civil War. While some war films emphasize the inhumanity of battle, others focus on the valiant heroes carrying out their patriotic duties. There are also films that take another approach by focusing on how war can influence the lives of civilians or soldiers who’ve returned home. When taken as a whole, the genre leaves no psychological or physical stone unturned. In other words, if it’s been done in battle, it’s probably been reproduced on screen. Stacker compiled data on all war movies to come up with a Stacker score—a weighted index split evenly between IMDb andMetacritic scores. To qualify, the film had to be listed as “war” on IMDb, have a Metascore, and have at least 2,500 votes. Ties were broken by Metascore, and further ties were broken by IMDb user rating. Every film on the list has been considered according to the cinematic history and development of the genre. Click through to see which films made the cut.

Despite their staggering $934 billion budget, the armed forces have been dealt a major blow by the public health crisis. The military has had more than 10,000 cases of COVID-19 among its service members, members’ families, civilians, and contractors. It has had to cancel graduation ceremonies at its academies, postpone deployments, issue domestic and international travel bans, mandate social distancing and mask wearing, shift recruitment efforts online, and pause basic training. It’s safe to say that the effects of these measures will be felt for a long time to come. But there’s another side to this story: The military is a massive institution employing more than142 million civilians and 1.3 million active-duty service members. It’s rich in resources and well equipped to deal with emergencies. A pandemic is the exact type of crisis the military is made to face head-on—and it’s been doing just that. Amid all the changes it has needed to make, it has also kicked into gear helping to develop a vaccine for new coronaviruses, sending hospital ships to New York City and Los Angeles, building temporary health care centers in hard-hit areas, assisting governors with their states’ relief efforts, testing civilians for COVID-19, and providing places for travelers to quarantine after disembarking from cruise ships with cases of the virus. The United States, as well as other countries like Italy, has looked to the military as one of many major helpers during the pandemic. No two service members or branches of the military have been impacted by the coronavirus in the exact same way, but looking at COVID-19’s sweeping effects on the military in general can give you a sense of how personnel are holding up. To learn about how the U.S. military has been impacted by the pandemic, Stacker looked at news articles, research papers, timelines from the Defense Department, official memos, and government materials. The result is an interesting series of slides exploring a mix of innovations, heroic acts, and tragedies in the military over the last few months. Read on to learn more about how (and what) the military is doing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
