The movie isn't anti military at all
You really think that the DoD is going to endorse a film in which one of the major plot points is the hazing death of a Soldier endorsed by and covered up by the entire chain of command?!
On its core, it's the typical, "only the young Soldier/rebel Lieutenant can save the day from the evil Colonel/General" motife.
Just because it has Tom Cruise, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, and Jack Nicholson doesn't remove that fact.

I just said that unless you fellatiate the military the DOD aint gonna approve your flick.

No, it isnt.
Its a power corruption flick at its core. It doesn't matter that it was set on a military base because the basic narrative of a coverup due to hazing gone wrong would work if it was a cop movie, a sports flick, or simply about a frat.
Just because its set on a base and the bad guy is a general doesn't make it anti military just like how The Rock isn't anti military even though a bunch of soldiers and a hero general go rouge.
