I suspect survivability bias plays into it, as I imagine an empathetic and self-reflective anti-war film in the is more likely than a straight "US are the villains" film to be funded and see financial, and therefore popular, success in the US. It makes sense why domestic industries will tend to tell domestic-facing stories. I'd say the size of the US film industry means you actually get more diversity in war films compared to ones you see in places like Japan or Germany.
