“western military movie” is literally the worst genre of film in existence
I want to make it 100% clear this is me expressing my deep seated hatred for the military propaganda movies that the west continues to pump out. literally every movie where some white military guys are in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, etc., I hate them all. Every narrative where it’s like “oh, he felt bad about killing the people there” I genuinely could not hate more. It’s always some flavor of “this poor Brown/Black kid dies :[ and they feel really bad about it :[ but they had to do it to stop suicide bombers :[” or “the white MC realizes that war is WRONG in the middle of the movie and it’s only then that he actually views the people (always poc) he’s killing as human”. Ohhhh they feel SO bad about killing these people, and we’re supposed to sympathize with them even as they continue to kill in the name of the West’s imperialism. I hope every director who continues to put this shit out burns.
in lieu of top gun coming out, tapping the sign again and reminding y'all that it’s literally just military propaganda for the US to continue its imperialism n I hope every director who continues to push this shit out—along with the military that sanctions it—burns.
blows up a random stranger with a rocket launcher for no reason then falls to the ground weeping histrionically & receives the tender attention & support of everyone present
“How did your great grandpa stepping on a landmine protect this country” is a– I don’t even want to say heritage post, it’s more than that. I think it deserves real world accolades
HA! The super bowl did NOT air an ad about Pat Tillman, they did NOT. Omfg. The ad is about how he left a pro football career to join the military and was killed in the line of duty, but now the foundation bearing his name is giving back to other patriotic football players.
He sure WAS killed in action! Pat Tillman joined after 9/11 after being swept up in propaganda l, but during his time in Iraq became a vocal anti-war proponent. Pat Tillman was then murdered by fellow squadmates for his stances, his murder was covered up, and he’s been used as a recruiting tool since.
Initially it was reported he was killed by enemy fire in a fight. Then it came out he was killed by friendly fire. THEN it was revealed he was shot 3 times in the back of the head at close range.
American military propaganda machine knows absolutely no bounds.
Exactly, and to even address if it WASNT murder, the best case scenario is that a man deeply deeply disillusioned with and disturbed by the Iraq war was killed by friendly fire in a big whoopsie and then the gov lied to the nation to continue using him as a poster boy, and WORSE, lied to his family about what happened, and the family only got SOME answers after they went digging and urged public pressure. And EVEN WITH this information that IS confirmed, they drag the poor man’s corpse out to recruit people into a military he was against and got him killed. Fucked
It’s worth pointing out that his family, especially his brother, has been vocal about the military lying to them AND the NFL bullshit for years.
The big wet puppy eyes my grandpa just gave me when I said I was making naan and he said “garlic naan ??” With barely concealed excitement . Needless to say I added so much garlic to the naan
