The Pentagon directly influences Hollywood — in some cases, scripts are literally line edited by the military. Part of my last book was all about this — I call it the Military-Entertainment Complex. Read this WashPost piece I did summarizing the situation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/25-years-later-remembering-how-top-gun-changed-americas-feelings-about-war/2011/08/15/gIQAU6qJgJ_story.html …https://twitter.com/BootsRiley/status/1025779683541934080 …

American men and women actually die in unnecessary corporate/political wars meant to benefit the rich. death of the working class in the military has to be glorified? dignified?
@stuberry69 -
Because telling them that they died for rich people is sad

It's really true. We have a warring nation because our society has scripted us to believe no honor is higher than a war hero. In this, all attempts at peace are considered weak, and unnecessary force is considered bravery. It's one enormous lie.

My ex-husband was a Vietnam veteran. He refused to watch any movie with John Wayne. He said he had been brainwashed all his life in Indiana with Hollywood propaganda films, he thought he was going to fight for Freedom but found himself the Invader murdering innocent families.

Michael Parenti's book Make Believe Media is a great book about the entertainment industry and how its used to indoctrinate.
