It involves the actual Air Force as little as possible in order to get their funding -- at least to me, it came off as literally like having a movie where they eat at Burger King all the time just to get money from Burger King but otherwise Burger King plays no role in the plot

And maybe that's still going too far ethically Like if you think Burger King is an evil company and getting more people to eat there is fundamentally unacceptable then yeah sure it's still crossing the line But from my POV it was almost robbing the USAF

They could have in fact involved the USAF in a way that actually said something positive about the USAF's "mission" and they never ever did Carol is purely a test pilot for Dr. Lawson's weird alien shit She never flies a rescue plane to save heroic soldiers from Baghdad etc.

No, she's just testing planes that may or may not be for that purpose, because again, the movie actively not mentioning what the US army was actually doing in that time period would be morally inconveinent for it's anti authority message.

The movie gets as close as it can (while being edited by Air Force censors) to saying that Carol wishes she could've worked directly for Dr. Lawson without being in the Air Force at all

I mean it's a line in the movie, it's how Maria describes Dr. Lawson "We always liked Dr. Lawson, she was the only one who would let us fly anything we wanted"

Again, a very gracious interpretation of a single line as 'coming as close to wishing they could work for her as opposed to the airforce'.

It's one possibility He also really may have never tried it until we see it happen in Infinity War (which seems odd given how dire the situation was in Avengers 1) The point is that Carol isn't a soldier at his beck and call, because he's never successfully becked and called
