Given that July 4th has just passed it’s got me into a wartime kind of  a mood.  I just can’t help it.  Yesterday we featured emotional soldiers pictures and today I decided to do something kind of fun.  It’s based on a great article by Gunaxin on awesome war faces in movies.

Basically I decided to do my own version today that had a few more pictures and from different movies.   I wanted you all to get the full flavor.   Whether it’s a comedy or a very serious war movie, the faces made during battle can be quite memorable and intense.

Check out these 15 war faces after the jump…..
