Sure, every war is the way she describes, but it is in the nature of governments and their accomplices in the press to hide what actually goes on in war, because to do so would risk the good will of the people back home.
Everyone should be reading the great works of Paul Fussell, a brilliant writer who fought in World War II and has made a career since the 1970s of taking all the horrors of combat and stuffing them right in your face. When I read Cher, I thought I was reading a Fussell convert.
