    "... the current conflict." - this statement maybe misleading and reflect more my perspective of a long sequence of events. The event does however involve the USA.

    I'm getting a Robin Williams vibe, but the shots not ringing any bells. I'll take a guess at Being Human, 1994 - that seems to be about the right era and look for him.
