Like yes there are a lot of very good leftist/intersectional appeals to not in the military and I endorse them all! But I don't think any such appeal will scare someone so straight as the simple fact that a dark day WILL come, when everyone they know is a service member or vet

Heck, in the film we had already had the scene where it turns out she was always able to stand back up, and it was the (alien) military conditioning that held her back.

The idea that her powers are a result of training and discipline and it's something the military "invested" in her and she owes them service in return for that gift? A fucking lie "I could ALWAYS do this I was ALWAYS awesome It's my fucking BLOOD, it's MY BIRTHRIGHT"

"My power is MINE, it's PART OF ME, and I can use it or not use it ANY FUCKING WAY I WANT I don't owe anyone jack shit, I don't have to be loyal to any-fucking-one but myself and my own conscience Anyone who doesn't like it can eat a faceful of plasma"

Frankly I think the USAF got completely duped or bet on the audience having no thematic understanding, because the Kree military plainly stands in for the USAF for most of the plot and is plainly bad (the real USAF only exists as dupes of the Kree, and as canonically sexist)

The actual Air Force does absolutely nothing positive in this movie except put Carol in a position to get chosen by the Tesseract And they do that unwillingly and by accident The good guy of this movie was an alien spy who was outright conning and stealing from them
