Pick a war. Pick any war and then write a story about it. It doesn’t matter if the story is fictional or Based on a True Story. It doesn’t matter if the war in question actually happened or not. The point is to write a story that is meant to entertain and, usually, to make a point. For obvious reasons, people from countries that participated in a war are more likely to write about them. That’s why Americans write more about WWII than WWI. Usually media will focus on one unit whether it’s a regiment, a company, or something smaller, like a squad or platoon. If the media is live-action, then it is usually based on foot soldiers due the expensive nature of filming aerial, tank, and naval combat. There are exceptions that use CGI, models, and stock footage of course.
