Literally all societies fetisize soldiers in the same way, it's only a recent thing that nubile cunts stopped doing it.

Technically you could consider Hollywood propaganda. Especially during the Cold War, i'm not sure when this movie is from?
But during Cold War many hollywood movies, specifically any that depicted war or politics in general, were under heavy influence of the CIA/State dep.
It's usually not incredibly obvious, but notice, if you watch a movie where we war Russia, or China, or some usual enemy. We never lose, even if MAD occurs.

and these british mercenaries were probably ex-SAS, the best special forces unit in the world
these guys can even defeat whole mechanized squads on open ground head on

No, they fucking don't.
Dominic Harris
Predictably boring because of it.
Sebastian Stewart
It happens.
I don't remember that movie well, but didn't the bomb disposal guys sit there for hours and snipe them? That's a situation which is easier to succeed in than a lot of others.
That's the thing about warfare, as it gets more sophisticated, being elite matters less and less compared to being in the right place at the right time, and winning wars depends more on statistics, logistics and strategy than individual skill.

Except that sniper training isn't a pre-req for bomb squads and the chance of there being two trained snipers on one disposal team is basically zero.

Yeah, but to some extent it's point and shoot, the real hard sniper skills are stealth and preparing a shot at very long range with weird angles. They could have been told by a sniper team stationed in their base how to operate the gun during a down-time.
Plus if I remember the scene correctly, it was more or less aiming at a window on a house for the target to walk by, and the guy missed the first time, it wasn't terrifically theatrical.

>but to some extent it's point and shoot
And to a major extent it involves complex ballistics algebra accounting for things like wind speeds, direction and even the rotation of the earth for long range shots.

American Sniper was rushed through production and conveniently ignored how much of an asshole Chris Kyle was just so it could be released before the trial of his killer to sway the jury away from a very valid insanity plea
Asher Sanchez
Doesn't seem implausible

imagine being so conditioned that one denies that they are being exposed to propaganda.

Some American films (like even Transformers) get money for showing the military in a positive light
Robert Ward
I don't really give a toss about stuff like that but the American film about the Enigma machine was taking the piss. There's selling a film to a mass audience and then there's just flat-out telling lies.
