That's one of the things I like about the movie Three Kings. They make no excuse about who invaded who and who was ripping off who.

So should we not make films that show how fucked up specific wars are?
I think it's probably pretty rare that the military leaders who executed the war operations also make the movies about them...
Who is "we" and what are "our" goals? Those definitions will answer your question quickly enough.
All movies that glorify military violence should be treated cautiously even if the overall message is anti-war. Take Apocalypse Now. What will some people remember? The helicopters, Wagner, napalm in the morning. That's not saying there's no value in such movies, though.
We: filmmakers
Their goals: shine a light on how fucked war is. I cannot actually remember watching a war movie that didn't make me deeply saddened by the brutality. Apocalypse now is a perfect example.
