re: A Few Good Men is anti-military propaganda.

maybe you should watch the movie again hoss
it clearly went over your head.
He's not totally wrong. When the DoD read the script, they deemed that it portrayed the military in a bad light and therefore refused to endorse it (a DoD endorsement usually means that you are allowed to use equipment or personnel that are still in service).
That's why the 1996 fish Drill Team played the role of the Marine Silent Drill Team at the beginning of the film.

They deem that shite for everything that doesnt suck major military peen while waving an America frick yea flag.
Of course they wouldn't endorse a flick that dares to portray a general who had completely lost his mind. Dude was stuck in the 60s era Cold War all acting like the fate of America was under threat from some Cubans to the point that his orders led to a soldiers death and a coverup.
The movie isn't anti military at all. Its anti pig headed dogmatic thinking taking precedence over logic. That the pig headed fool was a member of the military didn't mean it was anti military. It meant that even the people we might assume are the most admirable and upstanding can still end up being the villain when they let power go to their head.

I have gotten in so many arguments over people think that drill team was a real drill team. They fricking sucked balls.
One motion one sound...
and the drill team at the beginning of that movie just couldnt do it, they were awful, out of sync, multiple pops... and so many people online and in person defend them as good.
I was part of a unit that had a 6 time national champion Rotc drill team. We performed about a 15 minute silent drill routine that was flawless. We were so good the Commandant of the Marine Corp came to watch us perform and inspect our battalion.

Yeah he's not wrong at all. The movie is very heavy handed but I still think its a damn good movie.
