This is an absurd situation, having a military minder that tells you what you can and can't say in a production. It is hard to avoid some kind of interference if you want to borrow military equipment though. There is always some standard that you want to uphold that is probably higher than what is allowed by the first amendment.
The solution is to not allow the military to lend any assistance to movie productions. Frankly, it's not their job anyways. This is the only way to avoid the kind of influence described in the article.

This is the only way to avoid the kind of influence described in the article. Unfortunately this 'solution' doesnt facilitate the foreign effect from distributing these films abroad to spread positive american sentiment and further the goals of the US govt and Hollywood and corporations (product placment for starters, mindshare, etc), so it is 'inferior'..
- azinman2 9y agoThe article is poorly written so I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not, but it seems to imply that people go to the military asking for “toys” (article is very non-specific here), and that’s part of the deal. It doesn’t seem to imply somehow the military is censoring all films made in the US.
