A Few Good Men is anti-military propaganda.

No shocker the Meathead was involved. It was a direct attack on the military, Christianity, and the entire warrior culture.

I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.

Please tell me you have more. Phone calls and suitcases? Two men's lives are in the balance.

Except all the heroes are military people and the military system gets to the truth in the end.

I like the movie, but I agree with OP. Tom Cruise was such a badass back then though. Top Gun, Risky Business, Rain Man, and A Few Good Men. Dude couldn't miss.

Guys like Col Jessup sound all badass, and they're useful to have around when shite hits the fan. But you'd better keep them on a short leash and firmly under civilian control. The beauty of our Constitution is that it does this quite well. In other countries, the Jessups of the world get up to mischief like overthrowing the government and installing themselves as military dictators.

You know it was based on a play written by Aaron Sorkin right, who adapted his play for the screen? And is also the creator of The West Wing, and The Newsroom, in addition to other idealized ideas of what a leftist run world should look like? And is also a noted mushroom abuser????

Seriously, I'm not sure it is anti-military, but Aaron Sorkin is a lefty.

Most military guys I know like the movie. Now G.I. Jane, my two brothers in law in the Navy hate that movie.

I think it's a mixed bag. The movie said a lot of things that needed to be said but also generally from an antagonists POV that was shown to be out of line. So it depends on if the focus is the message or the messenger.
