Google is your friend tonight.

The movie made us look like badasses who quickly became groveling shrews once the real **** went down. The scenes with Ron Eldard as Durant, and his captors tells it all. Scrappy badass?

Actually, makes you seem kinda tough.

So are you just going to ignore the rest of the post? You were wrong about military involvement and maybe you should ask yourself why the hell the they would be involved in a movie that supposedly made them look bad.

Oh and here's a "complete" list of movies produced with Pentagon assistance given by the Pentagon itself. Hamburger Hill and Black Hawk Down are on the list. I might have missed others on your list because it's long and unorganized, and there's no telling if the list actually is complete.

We were chill though. Even Chula was keeping a lid on it.

Go back to Africa.

Agreed. Was enjoying the debate actually.

Bat, I think it's a bit of a stretch between "The Pentagon assisted in making a movie" and "Because of the FOIA, the Pentagon turned over 8 pages of records related to all conflicts after WWII, and some of that info was used in helping to make post WWII war movies more factual".

The Pentagon (Government) spends billions of dollars a year in PR in an effort to make military service seem glorified, even glamorous.

The few, the proud, the marines!!!

The movies I listed all made military service, the military itself, and in some cases, the government look like a nightmare in hell.

Friendly Fire was based on the true story of a fervent antiwar activist for cripes sake.

We can agree to disagree though if it will help Grindy sleep tonight.
